My Pick - 4th Starter: Kershaw or Bedard

Postby deanpapelbon » Sat Feb 14, 2009 12:54 pm

its my pick and I need a 4th starter. 5x5 with QS instead of W's, 25 man rosters. Its a keeper league but I want to win this year. This will be the 164th player off the board. I'm leaning toward Bedard or Kershaw.

My Staff so far:
E. Santana
Felix
Vazquez
Fuentes
Soria



Best Available
Kershaw
Bedard
Scherzer
Chris Young
Slowey
Lilly
Joe Saunders
Danks
Baker

Very tough call! In a keeper I lean towards Kershaw because he is the next Lincecum but Bedard may get you more QSs this year as Kershaw, like most younger pitchers, doesnt go deep in games sometimes. I still think I take a chance on Kershaw given his upside and the keeper status. He shouldnt hurt your numbers too much and given Bedard's injury last year, it may even be a safer bet

Help with mine please?

There is no way I'd take Bedard this early, not with his injury history.

Take Kershaw. ;-D
Free WR!

I would take Kershaw also, especially since its a Keeper league. I would also think about Young. Just have to make sure he is healthy and over whatever injury he had last season.
Not a big Bedard fan...

Kershaw all day. Pick up Scherzer in the next few rounds if you can.
I did not invent the wheel I was the crooked spoke adjacent.

I take Kershaw, too, but look for Bedard next round.
