Yes, I’d drop Sale for Reed.

My ROTW projections for Stauffer arent as kind as yours: 3.80 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, I have him at 105 K’s at most (6.25 K/9 with maybe 150 IPs).

In that case, ill take the likely better pitcher in Cishek who probably has a better chance to get 3+ saves

I will say you’re giving up 50+ saves or so. If you can absorb that or are willing to play the carousel, jump on this

He’s coming off the DL as a solid two start option next week, @WAS and vs LAA.

3.40 ERA, 130 K’s, 1.24 WHIP asking too much ROS?

have

clippard
jansen
janssen
d hernandez
marshall
cishek
betancourt

since i have 2 holds guys, okay to drop cishek instead of janssen. Concern is cishek will be elite holds guys but need saves

i’d be getting the offense

Sure he’ll probably pitch later in games, but I’m not confident he’ll be effecvtive. I’d rather have Jason Grilli, for perspective

The worst pitchers I have on my roster are Holland, Santana, and McCarthy. Am I right that including any of these guys would make the deal lopsided? I’m just looking to get and give fair value, not rip anyone off. Thoughts appreciated.

Kept Marshall. Thanks for the advice!

As I said earlier, I’m off the Billingsley wagon, and when I fall off a wagon, I want it out of the wagon-house. Now.

Wagon-haus?

Felix Hernandez

Tommy Hanson
Colby Lewis
Adam Wainwright
Johan Santana
Drew Smyly

You’re first in saves now, but you might end up with just Casilla and League. If you must, I’d try to get more for Marshall or hold until his value goes up, then sell. I also expect he’s going to have a very productive year.

Cishek owns righties and Johnson strikes out a ton. Cishek just couldnt find the plate. You dont pitch around a guy with a 24.8% k-rate to face a lefty.

Still, I’m guessing the walk there is more directed at Johnson’s hot hitting than Cishek’s inability to throw strikes, as his K/BB ratio suggests he doesn’t walk guys often.
