@Tony, not terribly confident.

@Hats for Bats, I’m always in favor of dropping a fringy closer for a nice SP, but Lynn’s long term role is unclear. He needs a couple more good starts to lock down a spot when Carp returns. And even then, nothing’s certain.

@jac, Start Garza, Freese, Reimold.

@MeanMachine, you can part w/ Liriano. Too early to cut Scherz.

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:53:48 +0000

@Jan, Aceves or Guerra

@Tony, Lynn’s long term role is unclear, but if he shows another outing or two like yesterday’s, the Cards might have to keep him in their rotation when Carp returns.

I’m in a 8 X 8 league with W, L, ERA, WHIP, K, CG, HLDS, SVS

Based on Lynn’s performance, his age (24) and a decent Cardinals team . . .

Should I drop Lidge, Melancon, Peavy, Liriano or Zambrano for Lynn. Or do you expect that he’ll be in the ‘pen when Carpenter returns?

Also, how many starts should I wait on Samardzja b4 I consider him?

Alright … can’t halt my urge to tinker …
a) Sit Garza (at Mil) for Harrison (at Minn)?
b) Prado or Freese (5 of 6 righties)?
c) Reimold or Duda (3 lefties including hamels and clee + stras)?
d) and for the true maniac move, thinking of playing Bernadina instead as #3 of the 4 choices above. 6 righties, playing for his roster spot w/Ankiel returning in a week.
Feel the need to jack up my steals, that’s why I’m favoring Reimold and Roger.

What a fn bloodbath for my pitchers this weekend. After watching Gallardo, Latos, Bumgarner, Scherzer and Liriano launch preemptive nuclear strikes on my ERA and WHIP i want to chop some heads. Liriano was a flyer so he is getting the boot but im torn on wheather to give Scherzer any leash. I remember him burning me last year quite a bit so i kinda don’t like him already. What say you, the voice of reason? Off with his head?

how confident are you guys feeling on rolling NOVA out there vs. BAL tomm?

By: Jan

Jan — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 01:43:29 +0000

Need a Farnsworth replacement: J.Guerra, B.Myers, J.Johnson, or Aceves (pts league, saves more important). What do you guys think?

Thanks!

By: Tony

Tony — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 01:37:48 +0000

would you guys rather own Lance Lynn over Liriano or Nova?

By: @HuskyRump

@HuskyRump — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 01:09:37 +0000

@Scott Evans: Was thinking Aviles for Morel; Altuve for LaHair (I have Kendrys at 1B but was thinking of slotting LaHair into OF b/c this league gives points for DPT)

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:44:53 +0000

@@HuskyRump, Both, probably. Ultimately depends on who you’d be dropping.

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:43:15 +0000

@Fitz, if Bard gets that job he’d be far more valuable than Myers in a 10 team format. I can’t imagine Myers is gonna be worth all that much in shallow leagues.

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:40:38 +0000

@Anthony, there are so many… start with Grey’s daily roundups here. fangraphs.com/fantasy always has great stuff, the hardball times, too.

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:37:16 +0000

@nightpandas, Yes, he’s worth a flyer.

Is Laroche a consideration for a bench spot in a 15 team league, off to a great start…

By: @HuskyRump

@HuskyRump — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 23:09:55 +0000

Someone just dropped Altuve and Aviles in my 14 team, mixed, 5×5 league. Either worth a pick up?

By: Fitz

Fitz — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 23:08:00 +0000

To Scott or anybody else. Would you drop Myers for Bard in a 10 man league? I think Bard is going to be closing in no time for that mess of a Red Sox bullpen.

@Everyone: What websites do you guys go to/check when you need to pick up another SP on the waiver wire ? I know about fantasy411 mlb’s blog but i need more sites to cross reference – And yeah the more websites/information on pitchers to gamble on the better – Please help me out guys !!!

@Scott Evans, thanks for the feedback. Knew what I was getting into with Marmol, in theory, but seeing it, in practice, is frightening.

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:11:21 +0000

@Black Beard, I don’t like Samardzija, but that’s more to do with the Cubs than his stuff. He could turn into a decent deep league option. Re: Marmol, don’t quit on him yet, but if you have room don’t hesitate to scoop one or two of those FA closers.

By: Brian

Brian — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:09:29 +0000

@Scott Evans, ironically I was hoping you owned one or the other then it would have made my decision even easier. I went Worely, thanks man

By: Scott Evans

Scott Evans — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 22:05:08 +0000

@Brian, You’ll notice above that I own both. I think they have similar outlooks for this year. Worley has better upside for future. Floyds a nice guy to fill out innings.

Black Beard — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 20:45:33 +0000

I don’t know if owning Marmol is quite worth it in one of my leagues. There are a ton of closers unrostered. Please help.

Keep running him out there or drop for Santiago, Francisco, Myers, Johnson, Broxton, or Melancon?

By: Black Beard

Black Beard — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 20:39:49 +0000

@Black Beard, and he throws a 97 mph fastball right in the middle of the plate and gives up a 2 run jack to laroche.

By: Black Beard

Black Beard — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 20:36:04 +0000

I’m watching Samrdzija hit 97 in the ninth. I’ve heard in the past he can throw hard but his fastball is laser straight.

Have you seen anything from him that makes him a potential breakout this year?
