Drop SP for Jimenez?

Postby Strokin Shortstop » Tue Apr 28, 2009 8:43 pm

I already have a very strong pitching rotation, but Ubaldo Jimenez was dropped a couple of days ago and is coming off of waivers tomorrow morning. I would like to pick him up, despite his horrible start. If I pick him up, I will have to drop one of my pitchers. Here is my pitching roster as of now:

Starters:
- Halladay
- Lester
- AJ Burnett
- Peavy
- Cueto

Reserves:
- Chris Young
- Buehrle
- Zimmerman

BBI - Walks Issued (Pitchers) -1 point
BS - Blown Saves -2 points
CG - Complete Games 4 points
ER - Earned Runs -2 points
HA - Hits Allowed -1 point
INN - Innings 3 points
K - Strikeouts (Pitcher) 1 point
L - Losses -5 points
NH - No-Hitters 5 points
PG - Perfect Games 5 points
QS - Quality Starts 2 points
S - Saves 5 points
SO - Shutouts 5 points
W - Wins 7 points

While Young isn't looking much better than Jimenez right now, he's pitching in PETCO vs Coors, which is a sizable advantage.

As much as we can be tantalized by Jimenez' stuff, he's not locating at all right now, and I don't trust him until he can at least put together a couple of halfway-decent outings. I'd hold tight for the time being.

Ok, after starts by Jimenez and Zimmerman last night - I am a little more confused than I was when I originally posted this. I'm not really sure who has the most upside of these two, but I'm not really concerned with keeper potential right now. I want to use this roster spot mainly as a sleeper and 2-start pitcher potential.

Also, Fausto Carmona is available as well. He ranks up there with these two.

Please help! Thanks!

Randy Johnson is available too. He could be a viable spot starter for this season.

We only have 3 reserve spots available and I like to keep those spots filled with SPs to work the matchups. I don't have any position players available to drop.

Reserves:
