Pick up Jordan Zimmerman and/or Anibal? (WHIR)

Postby dave knight » Fri Apr 24, 2009 6:03 pm

6x6 non-keeper (5x5 plus Holds and OPS):

C - John Baker
1B - Votto
2B - Uggla
3B - Chipper
SS - Hardy
OF - Sizemore, Manny, Hart
Util - Carlos Pena, Cust
BN - Justin Upton, Cody Ross, Wieters
DL - Glaus

SP - Danks, Greinke, Nolasco, Jon Sanchez, Garza, Jimenez
RP - Bell, Gregg, Casilla, Thornton
DL - Escobar

Would you throw in the towel on Upton, or drop Ross even though he's doing better now because Upton has more potential? I kind of want to keep Wieters, but I don't know. Thoughts? I'll help in return.

I would pick up Zimmerman, but is there any other SP available...I do not know to much about upton but he is struggling.. I would keep ross..

I would actually think about dropping thornton or casilla...You have two set up men..I would like to drop one of them

Keep weiters even though baker is having good start

Sanchez is another option to drop..Will get you some k's but the whip will be really bad

I do need setup men for Holds.

Also available are Anibal Sanchez, Wakefield, Masterson, Penny, Sonnanstine, D. Braden, Looper, Marshall, Purcey, Bush. It's pretty thin FA list for pitching.

I'm thinking about Anibal as well.

forgot about holds. I would drop Johnathan sanchez..

Zimmerman pitches against mets this weekend..Mets are notoriously bad against rookie pitchers...

I would hold onto upton and ross, but its a tossup with them..

If u decide to drop one of them, then pickup either annibal or wakefield

I'm not throwing the towel on Upton yet. He is a bit streaky, I still think he can break out. I would rather drop one of your other guys. I like Zimmerman i think he is going to be a top end type pitcher.

I think I would consider dropping Ross. He's hot now, but you have Cust, who is a very simular type of player. Zim can be a solid upgrade. Sanchez is intreging, but his whip tends to be high.

Thanks for looking at mine ;-D

I'd drop Cust and Ross for Zimm and Anibal. Just a ton more upside potential after doing those moves. Thanks for your help on mine.

No, hold onto both of those players. Zimmermann is a borderline add, but he could really struggle as a rookie pitcher this year, even with the great spring training he had.
