The spec market for two-start pitchers is particularly messy this week, you guys. Scary. Fraught with danger. And in the A.L., it's really a minefield.
If you own a couple of this week's upper-tier N.L. starters, you're in good shape. But the rest of us are left to spin the wheel (hoping it doesn't land on "Volquez, E.")
Names and tiers, after the jump...
