Kyle Davies vs. Edwin Jackson - WHIR

Postby yanks2327 » Tue Apr 28, 2009 11:36 pm

With Webb looking to be out through the end of May and Peavy struggling, my pitching staff has taken a few lumps. I liked the way Edwin Jackson pitched tonight against a solid, albeit somewhat struggling, offense in the Yanks. Would you drop Davies to pick him up? (I'm looking for the most well-rounded pitcher, not any categories in particular).

I’ve also considered dropping Anibal Sanchez for Jackson -- Sanchez had a rough last outing, but seemed to get his act together after a tough first inning, and I like his upside more than Davies. Thoughts? WHIR

I'd drop Davies for Edwin.

I'm personally not that high on Edwin. He's at best a back end starter.

What else is available in FA (and your roster please?)

Not much available on the WW - in addition to Jackson, right now I'm looking at Micah Owings, Braden Looper, Rick Porcello, Kevin Millwood, and Scott Richmond (pitched well tonight but I'm not sold). And obviously I have my eye on Tommy Hanson, but I'm not quite ready to burn a roster spot on him just yet - sounds like he'll be up no earlier than June. Let me know if you think any of these guys would be a better play.

My roster's below - thanks.

Also - it's a 10 team, H2H, semi-keeper (6 - 10 players). Thanks.

it's really a toss-up to me. davies may be a bit more consistant over the course of the season vs edwin's upside. no reason not to take a risk on him i guess. there are plenty like davies on the WW.

Being a keeper I'd get Porcello. 8-o

Scott Richmond for the Blue Jays might be a good stop gap while they are playing well, not sure if he is on your WW
