Nestor Cortes is all of us:
"So sometimes I throw a pitch, and I see that they're way late, or they swing through it. And I look back, and I'm like, ‘It's 91.’ Like, I don't understand how they miss it.
I've been watching guys repeatedly swing through middle high cutters since last year, and I don't understand. If you saw video of all his pitches with velo, you'd assume he's a AAA journeyman.
Was hoping to add Margot at midnight when my adds reset, but of course BlueRocky snagged him. I think he might be legit good, and I regret dropping him.
My staff ace is Nestor Cortes, Drew Smyly and Michael Wacha have both started 5 games for me, and Cole Irvin is second on my team in IP. So yeah, things aren't exactly ideal.
Anyone selling a high-end SP? I have some pretty good assets available:
Henry Davis
Michael Busch
George Valera
Brayan Rocchio
Joey Wiemer

He was throwing the curve more often with good results in his first two outings, but that was against Baltimore and Oakland. Better offenses have been on everything in his last three outings. I haven't looked under the hood, but the curve that looked promising early has been ineffective for three games now. Basically he looks like Josh Fleming again.
