IN a 12 team H2H keeper league which do you prefer for 2009, pitching stats are

W
L
ERA
WHIP
K
SV
IP

Normally, I'd say it's a wash, but you gotta go with CC since he's likely to do better in IP and L.

I'd go with Peavy, hes in a good pitchers division, while sabathia will pitch in the AL East. i just think peavy will be better.

Peavy in this corner, I don't think an extra 3 wins-1 loss & 20 innings that CC will give you would outweigh the better ratios that Peavy brings to the table. Peavy

sabathia for me

[San D]

Sabathia.

CC - although his IP and fat contract concern me going forward

[Dan Charette]

I think it will be a hard decision for you. Both these pitchers are going to get votes. I'd go with Peavy myself.

Peavy.

CC is playing for the yankees. His innings pitched is going to go down. Yankee pitchers don't pitch more then 7 innings...ever. Often they don't pitch more then 6. Its just their philosophy. That means you are talking about does his wins and losses outweigh peavy's ratios. In a H2H league i take ratios over w/L any day of the week.

While it's true that CC won't be worked as rigorously as he was in Milwaukee, CC should still go deep in games.

Back on point, I'd take Peavy. If this were a roto, it would be closer, but personally I'm not that keen on chasing wins even if losses come in the equation. Sabathia won't be quite as lights-out when he was pitching in the National League naturally now that he's on an AL side. CC will still be very good, but I think Peavy on a full bill of health, will have better ratios, especially if he stays a Padre.
