WHICH PITCHER???? WHIR

[amarlls]

Which guy for this year? LAckey or Harden? I have Lackey but have option to get Lackey from him or should I trade Ervin Santana?

[MaudDib]

I would take Lackey over Harden and Santana over Harden. Harden and Santana right now are coin flips to stay healthy and post good numbers when healthy.

[amarlls]

Well do you think Lackey and Santana will be good to go after DL stint or should they be problem all year?

[amarlls]

Also do you think its fair to trade Lackey for Kazmir or could or should I do this?

bump, anyone?

I think you would be selling low on Lackey here. For some reason, expectations seem unreasonably low on Lackey this year. I have seen him go as low as the 20th SP taken. IMO there is no way that 20 SP's are more valuable than Lackey. Harden is a major gamble, he made 25 GS for only the second time last year. And Santana, while very good, will start the season on the DL. Kaz is a dominant pitcher, but can he keep his BB total down? And when will he learn that he doesn't need to K everyone he faces and become a top 5 SP? These are big questions. Stick with Lackey. Good luck!

Lackey will take his time coming up but I like him most down the stretch...

right now i'd stay away from santana.

as far as lackey vs harden, if lackey is going to pitch 3/4 of the season its him by a long shot.
if you don't think he will then take harden.

I wouldn't go for Santana. There isn't much news on Lackey, nothing too detailed anyways. But if there was reason for big concern then it would have probably have already been made clear. I'd stick with Lackey at the moment.
