Anybody else not believers in Baker and Slowey?

Postby cstorms » Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:41 am

Their rough starts have just crushed my era two weeks in a row. I know its early, but everytime I scan down my list of pitchers and see Baker and Slowey, I just know they are gonna screw me over sooner or later. I notice them on many rosters posted on this site and was just wondering if anyone has dropped them, or if you are still giving them another shot. I am scanning the waiver wire for potential, and am this close to cutting them loose. These guys were FAs in my 12 team last year, and this year they were drafted among proven pitchers..I just snaked them in the last rounds of a ten teamer. Anybody know something that I don't?

Both aren't going to really dazzle you so they're going to be prone to getting hit around every now and then. Baker's start was fresh off the DL although there's no real excuse for Slowey just 2 subpar outings. Be patient though.

I really liked Baker coming into this year but his spring, injury and now first start convinced me to drop him for Cueto. I will keep my eye on him as if he is healthy then will be solid for my staff.

I dont think I believe! Slowey was real good in Spring Training. Now the season starts and 2 bad outings. He's gonna ride my bench until he starts showing me something positive.

I like both those pitchers but they will only be middle staff pitchers. Baker was just returning from the DL and his next start is against Boston so I'd give him time yet to turn it around. Don't panic on either of these pitchers. It's still early.

Please help with my post viewtopic.php?f=26&t=379232
