Duchscherer, Kuroda, or Jimenez???

Postby galacticat » Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:04 am

I need to pick up another SP and these three are the best free agents in my league. I'm leaning towards Ubaldo Jimenez because of his upside, but I also view him as the most risky. I also wouldn't be surprised if Kuroda turns in a strong season. Who to take?

would pass on Duch, just because of injury reasons. I think Jimenez could be a great SP if he would stop walking guys, and Kuroda is a solid pitcher. i would go with Jimenez just because hes more of a K pitcher and seems to have success at Coors field with his incredible groundball rate. That 98 MPH fastball is also just beautiful to watch haha. ;-D

Jiminez for me because of Duke's injury.

I would roll the dice and go with Dukes. The guy may not even go on the DL and is feeling much better recently. He has slipped so much because of the injury concerns, now pounce on this opportunity. This is good value here bud. If he does wind up making 25 starts, you wont regret it. If he gets hurt, drop him and swap him for someone on the waivers similar to Kuroda or Jiminez.

What do you think of my club?
