Fantasy Analysis
Van Benschoten had previously worked no more than 4 2/3 innings, and his lack of innings has more to do with his own incompetence than a lack of endurance. His 8.27 ERA should spell "stay away" in all Fantasy formats. His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Padres. (Updated 07/22/2008).
