Quick help: which pitcher has more upside? WHIR!

[woowoo crew]

I don't think Adrian Beltre is worth keeping on my bench. There are a lot of good pitchers available. I want a pitcher with a good ERA who gets lots of Ks. Who would you grab? **These guys have the lowest ERA now.

Chris Young **
Aaron Harang **
Jered Weaver **
Chris Volstad **
Ubaldo Jimenez
Gil Meche
Ted Lilly
Gavin Floyd
Johnny Cueto
Brett Myers
Kevin Slowey

I am liking A. Harang this year. Volsted would be my 2nd choice.

Thanks for looking at mine

[woowoo crew]

someone must have an opinion... help please!

fyi, i could grab bonifacio, cano, or swisher if i don't get a pitcher. sooooooooo... pitcher of hitter????

[GoJaysGo]

what's your roster like? Because if you need a second baseman Cano would be a good idea.

[as834625]

Harang then C.Young then Volstad

Most of them are good SPs.
In terms of upside (only for this season) here is my order:

Chris Young **
Aaron Harang **
Ted Lilly
Gil Meche
Chris Volstad **
Gavin Floyd
Jered Weaver **
Ubaldo Jimenez
Johnny Cueto
Brett Myers
Kevin Slowey

sorry, here's my roster:

c: iannetta
1b: morneau
2b: kinsler
3b: davis
ss: alexei
of: hamilton, granderson, cruz, pence
bench: magglio ordonez, beltre, jose lopez, sandoval

**i could drop jose lopez for cano and beltre for a pitcher i guess.

sp: halladay, hernandez
rp: papelbon, broxton
p: verlander, j. sanchez, morrow
bench: valverde
DL: scott baker

No need for a second baseman with Kinsler so I would go with either Harang, Volstad, or Young

Looks like you are in an 8-teamer or something judging by the strength of your roster. If that is the case, there should be adequate hitting options on the waiver wire in case of an injury to one of your starting hitters. If you have daily lineup changes, you need to drop Lopez and Beltre and get 2 starting pitchers. Hitters play every day of the week. Starting pitchers do not.

[woowoo crew]

we do weekly roster changes. i'm hating it too, b/c i have nady in one league sitting in a starting spot for 4 more days.

this is my first year doing fantasy baseball, so i'm trying to learn if it's better to carry more hitters or pitchers. and yes, it's an 8 team league.
