carp-injury prone. he's done.
hansen- still in the minors, not touted as much as price or zimmermann.
price- a lot of pressure to succeed, has electric stuff, but i think it's too much pressure.
zimmermann- didn't wow the minors like price did, but was still electric, and has no pressure to win...as the nats are total crap
hughes- no. he's had enough time.

i go zimmermann.

Zimm compares to all the pitchers on this list and he's up in the majors and I doubt he'll get sent down. He'll probably move up a spot or two in the rotation before the end of the season. Just remember he'll provide you plenty of upside for the first 3/4 of the season, but be prepared for the playoff push.

I'm assuming this isn't a keeper b/c of all these priceless (no pun) FAs you posted.

Can you post your roster please.

If it is.....you are in hog heaven. (I'd probably find a more competitive league)
The best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be!

Pick up Zimmerman until Price gets the call up. Anyone suggesting that Price and Zimmermasn are even close to comparable has no idea what they're talking about. Zimmerman's ceiling is a #2 pitcher, and will muvh more likely be a solid #3. Price has the stuff to be the next lincecum.

Overall

Price




Hanson
Zimmerman
Hughes


But grab Zimmerman since he's starting and wait until Price gets his eventual call up.

My vote would be Zimmerman, but I really like Carp. If he comes off DL healthy (non pitching injury) he should be a pretty good starter.

Zimmermann

The drop him for Hanson when he's called up

Maybe drop him for Price when he's called up (unless he's straight dealing)
