Who to drop for Luke Hochevar?!? WHIR!

Postby TheGhost » Sat May 09, 2009 3:41 pm

I play in a league with deep rosters and a premium placed on pitching. I am looking to add Hochevar and wondering who I should drop?

I say drop Chris Tillman. He will be the least valuable of the players you listed.

I agree and by a mile, the other 3 have some very nice potential.

Is Hochevar a better option than Tillman? I think Tillman has more upside. Thoughts?

I don't see Hochevar having a very good showing in K's or WHIP. He's a sinkerballer, and thus needs a good defense behind him. To call the Royals' infield defense bad is an understatement.

If you really want him, drop Tillman. But I would stay put.

Drop Guthrie. The rest have some potential especially if this is any sort of keeper league.

I'd definitely drop Tillman. He's got the least value for you.
