You know who would be a good buy low reclamation project as a starting pitcher?
Henderson Alvarez.
If that name sounds familiar, he was part of the massive 11 player deal with the Marlins that brought us Buehrle, Johnson, Reyes and others.
He looked to be developing into an ace after the trade. Had a heck of year in 2014 with Miami where he started 30 games with a 12-7 record and a 2.65 ERA
Was named opening day starter in 2015 but has had trouble with his shoulder for 2 straight years leading to 2 different surgeries.
If he's medically cleared he'd be a solid gamble I would think. Still just 26 years old.
