Better bet for 2nd half: Romero or Happ? WHIR

Postby Yahtzeee » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:50 am

In a 12 team mixed 5x5 keeper league.

Who is the better pitcher for the second half: Ricky Romero or JA Happ?

My current pitchers are:
J.Santana
Carpenter
Sabathia
Jer.Weaver
Burnett
E.Santana
Papelbon
Nathan
Capps

*I don't have any good reserve options if anyone gets hurt, so I'm looking for one.

I think Romero is the better pitcher and I'd probably go with him. Happ is on a better team so will have more opportunities for Ws, but this is his first year in the rotation so not sure how he'll do down the stretch once the innings start piling up. You can't really go wrong with either guy, but I'd lean towards Romero.

I was looking at both Happ and Romero and I picked up Romero and I am really glad I did. The guy is lights out and I think he will continue to be a really solid SP. Granted Happ is on a better team but I think Romero will hold opponents to around 3 runs a game, the Blue Jays can score to enough runs to get him the win, (expect their offense to pick up even more when Rios starts hitting.)

Help with mine?
