Mat Latos of the Padres is rapidly becoming a very solid starting pitcher. After his 6 inning start yesterday, he lowered his ERA for the season to 3.09, and has now struck out 42 batters in 55 1/3 innings pitched this year. While he may or may not be able to get you a lot of wins, remember this: He will be pitching a majority of his starts this season in pitchers' parks (Petco Park, AT&T Park, Dodger Stadium). While his BABIP is a bit low (.239), and likely to see some regression, the fact that his strikeout rate (6.75) and walk rate (1.75) are both solid. To me, if he is still available in your league for some reason, you should go grab him immediately.
