Brad Penny or CC Sabathia?

Postby RynMan » Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:06 am

both are young, but though last years stats didnt show it, i think penny is a better pitcher.

my starters are:
Oswalt
Beckett
Matt Morris
Contreras
either penny or sabathia will fit here.

I'm with ya, even thought the stats don't reflect it. Has shown great potential in the past. Take a late round flyer on him. Low risk, possible high reward. Really what 'sleeper' picks are all about, take a guy you've got a gut feeling about.

I agree Penny is a better pitcher than the stats showed last season...

That said, why are you even thinking about this? Sabathia could be a weak 3rd starter on a fantasy team, a good #4 and in your case a GREAT 5th starter ;-)

Thats my 2 cents anyways...
Fantasy sports are ruled by the 50-50-90 rule...

Anytime you have a 50/50 choice between two players, 90% of the time, you'll get it wrong

Penny...his 3.50 era and 1.13 whip after the break last year were pleasantly surprising.

All things equal, I like CC. Although you could probably get Penny a little later.

There will come a day when Barry Bonds leaves baseball, and everything about the game will be the better for it.
