Hello again, I am in a 12 team 5x5 roto league, I was searching the WW and I came across some interesting starting pitchers, I am thinking about picking 1 up and dropping Mike Pelfrey or Alexi Casilla. My first question is who would you drop, (Casilla or Pelfrey,) and my second question is who would you pickup? Thanks!!
Available Pitchers: Kyle Lohse Kawakami Anthony Reyes Kyle Davis
My current team: Posada Dunn Kelly Johnson Youkilis Khalil Greene CI: Blalock MI: Aaron Hill Sizemore Carlos Lee B.J. Upton Dye Util: Kendry Morales BN: Cust BN: Alexi Casilla BN: Mike Jacobs
Hamels Billingsley K-Rod Kerry Wood Cain Slowey Randy Johnson Dice-K BN: Rafael Soriano BN: Pelfrey
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.
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.
