Jeremy Guthrie OR Free Agent P?? ..WHIR

[SpecialFNK]

i currently have Jeremy Guthrie. hes not having a very good spring. even if i keep him on my team im not going to be starting him until i see some good consistent production during the season.
there are other pitchers (starters and relievers) as free agents who might be better.

im not worried about my closer situation.
even if i pick one one of the starters i likely wont start him early into the season until i see they are good enough, so i think im looking for the one with the most upside.

leave a link, WHIR

Isn't Pocerllo going to start the season in the Majors? I'd pick him up for the upside, even though the K numbers for him last season were not good.

There is talk that Brett Anderson and Trevor Cahill will also start with the big club and I think it's worth it to pick up at least one of them and drop Kuroda.

Not crazy about the available hitters, but I think Kubel could have a nice season.

most of the availabe pitchers look like guys who haven't secured a spot on the team yet, and may start in the minors. aaron cook is awesome this spring. he's the rockies #1 guy, but he does pitch in a hitter's park. i don't think you need to drop anyone, but if you drop guthrie, i'd get cook for now and see if the others make the team.

Marshall or CJ WIlson

thanks for you help

if i were you i would drop guthrie and pick up a bat until a new closer become available on the WW. why keep a SP you arent going to start. there will be plenty of SP to chose throughout the season. get some stats now. kubel is having a nice spring and may have a good start that turns into a good year. but take a flyer on him for now, try and get some stats, keep and eye on the WW for a SP or closer and when you need to you have a player to drop.

Sean Marshall will have spots where he will be dominant this year. I would have to say that Guthrie has to prove something to me before Marshall. Guthrie matches up with almost everybody else's ACE and is better than none of them. Whereas Marshall can be better than most other team's #4 or 5 on any given day. That is the main reason I don't like Guthrie.

Thanks for your help with mine! I also contemplated the Nady deal but i don't think he would go for that. Plus, I don't think Swisher gets much playing time in the Bronx. He's just injury insurance for anyone of the OF and Tex. Its Nady's job to lose.
