Jordan Zimmerman? WHIR

Postby vykeengfan » Wed Mar 25, 2009 10:35 am

Is this someone I should be putting on my roster right now? Just read (i know, i'm a bit out of the loop) the y f&f draft, and funston seemed pretty high on this guy.
12-team yahoo league.
here's my current roster:

1B: Miguel Cabrera (1B,3B)
2B: Dustin Pedroia (2B)
3B: Aramis Ramirez (3B)
SS: Derek Jeter (SS)
OF: Matt Holliday (OF), Magglio Ordonez (OF), Chris Young (OF)
Util: Adrian Gonzalez (1B)
BN: Joey Votto (1B), Jose Lopez (1B,2B), J.D. Drew (OF), Hank Blalock (1B,3B)
Pitchers
SP: Roy Oswalt (SP), James Shields (SP)
RP: Matt Capps (RP), Heath Bell (RP)
P: Carlos Zambrano (SP), Frank Francisco (RP), Joe Saunders (SP)
BN: Gil Meche (SP)

cats: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, K, TB, AVG, W, L, CG, SV, BB, K, ERA, WHIP, BSV

thanks and WHIR!

tough call. i say pick him up and hope for the upside.

drop lopez or blalock. you wont play either of those guys over you current starters. you are basically dropping a batter you may use 1-2 times per week for a young pitcher with high upside. he could be great, and he could fizzle like cueto last year.

I'd say to pick him up too, either over Saunders or over Lopez. Lopez is a good low-end #1 secondbasemen, but you won't play him over Pedroia anyways and certainly not over Cabrera, Gonzalez, Votto or even Blalock if he stays healthy...

With the flexibility of moving Cabrera to 3B and you having Gonzalez/Votto as 1B eligible you really don't need Blalock either. So you can drop either, as the previous poster said. Grab Zimmerman ;-D

If you had to drop someone it should be either Saunders or Meche as Lopez should have some decent value to a team lacking a good 2B or as part of a 2 for 1.

I'd drop Saunders. Last year was a bit of a fluke for him and I wouldn't be surprised to see a big correction there. If you're not comfortable doing that, I'd probably dump JD Drew for Zimmermann.

thanks for the help, all!
i ended up dumping blalock for zim. i figured i had more offensive depth, and had others i could plug into 3b in the event that aram got hurt.
