I’m not in the business of backing the Rockies, a bad baseball team across the board. You can argue Hughes is worth a look as he’s off to a fine start, but he has just 14.1 innings under his belt. Those who have followed me over the years know I like my pitchers with a larger sample size. The jury is still out with Hughes. Cavalli is the more trustworthy arm through 104.2 innings, and the Nationals are simply the better team overall. This price is disrespectful toward the Nats. Give me the road team.
