Have to Stream - Who to grab?

Postby the izzy » Thu Apr 09, 2009 10:22 pm

10 team, H2H keeper league

I'm at a point in which I'm losing all of the pitching categories so I need to stream a SP the next few days to stay competitive. I have 2 SP on my bench going between now and Sunday, where as my opponent has 4 (if he starts Galarraga).

my opponent has: Galarraga (TEX), Kuroda (@ARI), Felix (@OAK) and Beckett (@LAA)

I have: Liriano (@CWS), Bedard (@OAK)

Matchup as of today's stats (I'm losing all 7 categories):
W: 2-4
SV: 0-3 (expected)
K: 36-39
ERA: 4.64 - 3.61
WHIP: 1.31 - 1.23
K/9: 7.59 - 8.29
QS: 2-3

I think I have a real shot at K/9, QS, W, K and WHIP. ERA maybe.

Right now I plan to drop Putz (as he's doing nothing for me) and maybe Bonifacio (as I don't really need him and he'll probably just trail off in a week) and maybe even Carmona (though he has looked great in ST).

FA pitchers going tomorrow:
J. Maine (@FLA)
Wakefield (@LAA)
Pettitte (@KC)
Looper (CHC)
Sonnanstine (@BAL)
Anderson (SEA)
Garland (LAD)
Contreras (MIN)
J. Pineiro (HOU)
Zito (@SD)

So what do you guys think? How do you rank them? I'm leaning toward Maine and Wakefield, and also Pineiro had a great ST. Good idea to throw out both Putz and Boni and grab 2 SP, or just throw out one? If I grab 2 SP, I'll just dump them tomorrow and stream again.

EDIT: here's my roster:

C: Salty
1B: Pujols
2B: Roberts
3B: Aramis Ramirez
SS: Tulo
OF: A. Soriano
OF: Ordonez
OF: N. Cruz
UTIL: P. Fielder (1B)
BN: J. Bruce (OF), J. Upton (OF), E. Bonifacio (2B)

SP: Kershaw, AJ Burnett, Bedard, Gallardo, Wang, Liriano, Carmona, Prince (NA)
RP: M. Gonzalez, JJ Putz, M. Scherzer
DL: K. Escobar

I don't like the idea of Maine going out againsr Florida since they are raking right now. Personally, I'd take a shot on sonnastine.

Personally, I wouldn't stream. You're not that far off in ERA, WHIP and K/9. 1 bad start by any of those 4 guys and you're dead even again. I especially think you have a shot at K/9 with Liriano and Bedard. If you stream, you'll take K guaranteed, but I think that's about it. Ws and QS are not guaranteed by streaming.
