It's hard not to go with Lohse right now. He is off to a great start.

I would probably drop Pelfrey

Please help with mine

Dropping any of your SP for those guys would just be playing the hot hand. Which is fine, but I'm not convinced any of them will be much better than Pelfrey in the long run.

So if you want, dump Pelfrey for Lohse, and dump Lohse when he cools down for the next hot arm.

Or if you want to stock up on pitching, dump Casilla (you can certainly afford it) for an arm like Lohse to play pitch and ditch with.

Help if you can?

Lohse is probably a pretty good pick up, he's looking great. I also like Kyle Davies a lot. He had an amazing first game and looked terrific at the end of last season too. Could suprise a lot of people.

Lohshe or Davies for sure. Grab both, drop both of the players you were thinking about.
