The team ranks 30th in SP talent a few weeks into the season, and Brandon McCarthy was a totally wasted pick in the 10th round, when a lot of good position players were available. I'm starting to think that it's not at all worth it to spend any resources on SP's other than draft picks / free agency deals. He's just not a game-changer, and the whole idea of The System is to keep guys like him from pitching important innings. I should have drafted a good position player or reliever with the plan to rotate replacement-level arms to cover McCarthy's innings.

I've actually placed him on waivers. He is unlikely to be claimed, so I'll probably keep trotting him out there. Oh well, lessen learned.
