I have him as a sleeper, but how do you think pitching in texas will affect him?

I mean 4th starter in the majors not fantasy. Fantasy wise if he is on my team consider me pissed. -------------------- We're sitting here talking about fantasy, not reality, not reality, not reality but fantasy.

Also EVERYONEEEE was on the McCarthay bandwagon before his bad spring. He's no ace, but throwing up 5 ERA and 1.50 whip is heavy duty. He is a 6-7 silky smooth pitcher who will come in to his own. Bad park for him is very true.
