3 Guys on DL...Need Help Bad

Postby jzfran » Sat May 23, 2009 1:25 pm

So my team has hit injury road and I am scrambling. With a catcher on the DL (Posada), a horrendous SS with no other options on FA (furcal) and 2 good SP out (Harden, Volquez) in this 8 team 5x5 league, I need someone who can play, especially pitch. Trades rarely happen in this league because of the quality on FA at most positions. I want to pick up a SP....who should I grab on this list? AND who to drop? Thanks and whir

D. Bush
Bannister
Maine
Pelfrey
Baker
Meche
Maholm

I would most want Meche from that list. He's a solid pitcher and the Royals are good enough nowadays to give him opportunities for wins.

As for who to drop I think your best option would be Downs even though he has been pitching very well. In an 8 team league whoever you drop is going to be fairly good. It just looks to me as you have more closers than necessary and Downs is the least established of the 4 you have.

I like meche too. Downs would be a good choice to drop.

if you're scared of meche's back problems, i'd go with maholm next (not as many Ks, but better ERA/WHIP, but not as many W chances)

I would grab Meche as well. Pretty solid and i wouldnt worry about his back, if anything he will just pitch 20 less pitches. I have him on one of my teams and i'm not worrying about it.

mine please
