Last Keeper

Postby colt4523 » Sat Mar 07, 2009 3:53 pm

Alright, I posted this question before but keepers are due tomorrow and I would like some last minute input.
H2H 16 team points league
Scoring for Pitchers:
BBI - Walks Issued (Pitchers) -.5 points
BS - Blown Saves -5 points
CG - Complete Games 5 points
ER - Earned Runs -1 point
HA - Hits Allowed -1 point
HB - Hit Batsmen -1 point
HD - Holds 5 points
INN - Innings 3 points
K - Strikeouts (Pitcher) 1 point
L - Losses -5 points
NH - No-Hitters 10 points
PG - Perfect Games 5 points
PKO - Pick Offs 1 point
S - Saves 10 points
SO - Shutouts 10 points
W - Wins 10 points

With that scoring system in mind, who should I keep, Oswalt or Billingsley?

I'll go with Oswalt, Billingsley is a great pick but I'm not sure if he's a #1 starter or not. He's going to have to be this year for the Dodgers it appears but I'm not sure about him yet. So I would go with Oswalt myself.

I think Billingsley really needs to show his ability to keep the walks down - which is a negative category for you it looks like. I think he's going to be a #1 eventually but Oswalt has a significantly better whip and has the track record. As a keeper I think it makes it closer, though, so I guess I'd go Oswalt if you're looking more short-term and safe, Billingsley if you have the room & willingness to hope for more upside.

Anybody got a crystal ball?

Is Billingsley's ceiling for this year higher than Oswalt's? Probably not. Which is a safer pick? Oswalt, easy.

So there you have it, Oswalt.
