Chien-Ming Wang @ Boston

Which one?

probably Santana - at least he has some strikout potential coming off a good outing and Longoria may still be have a lingering hammy problem

I can actually start both, one, or neither (replacing a guy who's not expected to pitch).

I guess Santana. Don't feel good about either but definitely not excited (OK would be scared) about Wang vs Boston.

Santana should get his K's against BJ Upton and Pena too (yes, sore owner of BJ).

Added info, though I don't know if this changes anything:

Wang @ Bos (Wakefield)
Santana @ TB (Price)

Neither opponent has their best pitcher going. I do not believe in Price this year as he doesn't go deep into games and that bullpen is not good. I think I am leaning towards starting Santana, and benching Wang, though I might go with both of them.

good rule of thumb is to never start wang b/c he is one of the worst roto SPs in baseball.

santana seems like a very risky start to me (in general, regardless of opponent), but at least he has big upside. Wang's upside is 8 IP 3 runs, 2 Ks, 4 BBs, 7 H, W. that's like his version of a dominant game.


if you must start one, go with santana.
