Who would you rather have and why?

Wacha is starting Thursday vs. the Royals and Wheeler is expected to get called up in the very near future.

As far as fantasy I believe that Wacha's ceiling is much higher due to the fact that he is on a contender and I have not seen anything mentioned about a potential innings cap like I have seen with Wheeler.

Is Wacha even staying up or is this a one time start?

Wheeler. not close.

Less than 6 K/9 at AAA for Wacha.

It will be a lot easier to find guys on the wire that are closer to Wacha's skill level than Wheeler's.

That's my reasoning.

Wacha

Should be more than one start for him. Westbrook, Garcia, and Gast are injured and Carpenter is no lock to return. I see him staying up for the long haul barring a complete meltdown.

Wacha is already 74 innings in, he will have a cap later on in the season... as well as Wheeler.

Wacha is a Matt Harvey light. Command of 4 pitches with a mid 90s heater. He's a K guy despite his AAA numbers. shite he was 17k per 9 last year. He doesn't walk anyone or give up many hits. He has flat out dominated minor leaguers. Wheeler has been up and down and doesn't deserve the hype IMO
