Drop Pettitte for Parra or Nolasco?

Postby jebatzel » Sun May 10, 2009 1:17 pm

Wandy Rodríguez (Hou - SP)
John Maine (NYM - SP)
Ryan Dempster (ChC - SP)
Andy Pettitte (NYY - SP)
Scott Richmond (Tor - SP)
Scott Baker (Min - SP)

(5 pitching stats: W, SV, K, ERA, and WHIP)

Should I pick up either:

Ricky Nolasco (Fla - SP) (38 IP and 32 ks, plus owned in 76% of yahoo leagues)
Manny Parra (Mil - SP) (31.1 IP and 28 ks)

I'd drop Pettitte for Nolasco. Pettitte's not really going to be any better than what he's been doing (mediocre ERA and WHIP, decent win and K rate). Nolasco has ace potential. Another good start and the window to pick him up for nothing will close.

Help with mine? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=384143

Yeah I would easily drop either pettite or maine, in that order, for ricky, it's a risk free deal, as I doubt the league will be clamoring at the waiver wire to pick up either of those duds, but nolasco on the other hand I'm surprised he's there in the first place
