Wolf really surprised last year, and I think he can duplicate it this season, but that WHIP... yikes.
Take a shot on Kawakami and see what you get.

Yeah, I like Wolf alot but I am shying away because I already have Kuroda and Kershaw. Guess it couldnt be such a bad thing having 3 of their rotation though, especially if they have Manny. Just if they have a bad week in a head-to-head it could bury me pretty good. I am a bit afraid of the Japanese guys just coming over and adjusting but I guess Kuroda and Dice-K did pretty well their first year. Thanks...what are your thoughts on Marshall...oh and sorry I should have posted it in the subject but could you rank them please...thanks!

They have a great team this season and there's nothing wrong with having quality pitchers on the same team, I have Billingsley and Kershaw on many of my teams and have also been taking a late flier on James McDonald (not real big on Kuroda). Schmidt looks like crap and his still hurting, there's no way he gets a rotation spot, he's finished.

Well, there was one pick before me and he took Wolf so thats out. I think I can wait another 6 picks on Kawakami if I want to take a chance on him though. Just saw he posted a 2.30 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 117.3 innings in Japan last year though! Hmmmm....if he doesnt get hurt he could be golden

Bonderman might be worth a shot.

Yeah, I was thinking he may be the way to go. So if you were to take a shot on Bonderman, Anibal Sanchez or Ian Snell it would be Bonderman? Anyone else have an opinion? Also Balfour is available and could be a solid pick as we count holds and Percival is already hurting?!? Thanks

Kawakami or Bonderman. I'm not too big on Sanchez or Snell.
