Grey:
I have Raburn as MI in one league. Am thinking about adding Sanchez or Callaspo and benching Raburn for a while (would consider dropping but a fairly deep league).

I have 6 sort-of to real closers (Thornton, Storen, Lyon, Fuentes, Contreras, Walden). Should I drop 1 (Fuentes maybe) for a MI?

dropping Rodney (picked up Walden) for a flier on either J. Francis or J. Hammel. Not too deep a bench, so I gotta grab a upside starter while the gettin’s good. Premature to drop Rodney for Hammel/Francis? Which one?

@Grey,

Yes Bedard did nothing special yesterday but he still did alot more than 3 RedSox pitchers against the Rangers, so i think we have to see things in perspective. You gotta admit Bedard went against one of the best lineups in baseball in a hitter friendly park and gave up only 3 ERs. The Rangers are massive offensively and they will pound on many other pitchers throughout the year. Under such circumstances, i was even satisfied with Bedards performance.

@Grey: Thanks. I've been holding out hope that Suzuki would have trade value. But it's not happening.

@Casey Blake's Beard: I for my one would do it in a heartbeat. Vazquez is done, no matter if NL or AL. You may find better options on waivers or FA. I would grab Bedard and ride him aslong as his shoulder carries him. He is a gifted (although fragile) pitcher but doesnt seem to have any problems right now and he pitches in a pitcher friendly park. Well if his health issues come up again, drop him too and grab someone else but dont waste your time with Vasquez. Just my two cents.

@Grey: One open pitcher slot, who would you pick up in a 6×6 H2H (W, K, ERA, WHIP, OBA, S)?

Narvelous
Beachy
AJ
Harrison
Lowe
Livan
Niese

Cheers!

In a 12 team H2H 6×6 League that counts holds. I typically draft setup to go with holds early in the season and punt saves hoping one of my setup RPs end up a closer as the season rolls on.

I currently have Kershaw, Hamels, R.Romero, Kuroda, C.Lewis, Wandy, Edinson, and Travis Wood for SPs and Chapman, Kuo, Motte, and Storen for RPs. Should I drop any of my starters for Wilton Lopez or maybe Jake McGee?

I’ve got J Vazquez, thinking about dropping for Bedard should the former have a couple of more bad outings. Yea or nay?

@Chinaski: @ujoh: @Grey: All right, Alfonso will ride the bench then. Trust me, I normally wouldn't ask this question, but my huge lead in hitting is the only reason I gave it some thought.

Omar Vizquel, Miguel Cairo, Carlos Villanueva, and Rafael Betancourt are some other good Supreme Court names. Why are you looking at me like that? Latin people don’t have Supreme Courts? Racist!

Desmond sitting today. In a league with a stingy move limit, Sean Rod’s been dropped. (!) Think he’ll earn a worthwhile amount of PT this season (not just while Longo is out) to be a productive fill in @ 2B and OF when needed?

Carrasco or Narveson? QS and K/9 league.

@Eddy: Sitting CarGo is not the wisest thing to begin with but sitting him at Coors is just foolish regardless of the Pitcher. I wouldnt even sit Seth Smith at Coors let alone CarGo.

Drop Jordan Zimmermann for a recently dropped Wandy? Worth using a good waiver claim on it?

@Eddy: Yes it is. Never sit your stud hitters. They're studs for a reason, and it's not necessarily their looks.

Add Blanton and Harang to that list if it makes any difference

Grey, I’d like to continue riding the hot hand of Soriano in a H2H league, though I’m considerable ahead in all offensive categories. These are guys that would need to be benches if I want to start Soriano against Enright.

P.Alvarez vs. Mclellan
A.Dunn vs. Hochevar
A.Lind vs. B.McCarthy
CarGo vs. Kershaw
Ellsbury vs. Tomlin

Clearly, four of these guys have fantastic match ups. Is it crazy to sit CarGo against Kershaw and play Soriano?

By: Carl

Carl — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:47:22 +0000

Grey Im looking for a spot start, who would you pick over the next day or two? Any of these guys worth a shot in a 12 teah h2h league (6×6, QS being the extra cat)

Minor at Milwaukee
Pineda at TEX
Ogando vs SEA
Sanchez vs WAS
Happ at Cincinnati

Thanks much
