What makes Porcello's success most encouraging is that it's not just over a tiny sample size - it's becoming a trend.
Most MLB teams have played about 20 games so far this season, and that's a big enough sample size to determine whether or not to keep slumping players on your fantasy baseball roster. The bigger challenge is to decide if dropping those players makes sense—or just benching them for now is a better idea. That decision comes down to the rest of your rosters, along with its strengths and weaknesses. As we always say, no one ever said that fantasy sports were easy!

The tough part is to decide if the short-term move will be better than long-term patience.
