Possible pick ups WHIR

Postby Alexcny » Sat Apr 11, 2009 12:55 pm

Kershaw was recently dropped and is on waivers. I also have Lindstrom and was thinking about picking up some insurance on him
Its a 12 team 5x5 roto

My Roster is currently
C- Pablo Sandoval
1B- Adrian Gonzalez
2B- Alexie Ramirez
SS- Johnny Peralta
3B- Aramis Ramirez
OF- Ryan Braun
OF- Carlos Beltran
OF- Lastings Milledge
UTL- Nelson Crus
BN- Paul Konerko
BN- Ian Stewart

SP- Francisco Liriano
SP- James Sheilds
SP- Roy Oswalt
RP- Joakim Soria
RP- Matt Capps
P- Kevin Slowey
P- Matt Lindstrom
P- Randy Johnson
Bn- David Purcey
Bn- Kenshin Kawakami
Bn- Wandy Rodriguez

I think David Purcey is the most likely drop candidate but he did pretty well in his first start. Kawakami Pitches today so I'm curious to see how he does. Is there anyone here thats a definate drop for Kershaw?

Also who should i be on the lookout for if Lindstrom continues to struggle as the closer?

Kershaw is much better than Purcey...i usually like to wait to see how my SPs do in their first few starts (such as the case with Kawakami)...but in the end it wont matter...unless he gets hurt...i value him MUCH higher than Purcey.
So id drop Purcey now and grab Kershaw.

as far as the closers go....its far too early for people to be losing jobs and making it worth the risk to pick up their backups with value. that said, it would be helpful to know who is on your waiver.....id stay with him now, and just drop purcey for kershaw.

please help in return:
