Which pitcher do I sit this week? WHIR

Postby travisjz » Wed Jul 15, 2009 5:07 pm

I have to sit 1 of the following this week:

Matt Garza at Kansas City (Bannister)
Felix Hernandez at Cleveland (Huff)
Ricky Nolasco vs Philly (Hamels)
Ricky Romero vs Boston (Buchholz)
Randy Wolf vs Houston (Rodriguez)
Wandy Rodriguez at Dodgers (Wolf)

So who would you sit? Thanks for the help and I'll get you back.

I would sit Wolf.

Your must starts are: King Felix and Matt Garza - King Felix is putting it all together this year and is flat out dominant. Garza shows signs every now and then of being dominant and is facing a weak Lineup in KC.
Nolasco and Romero have tough pitching matchups. I am not benching Romero b/c he has been so hot and good even against good hitting teams (The Yanks for example). NOlasco pitches well against philly.
This leaves you a choice between two guys pitching against each other in Wandy v Wolf. I know Wandy has not been great away from home - but he is a better pitcher than Wolf. My choice is bench the wolf man.

I agree with Wolf (Houston do hit lefties pretty good and Wolf is only average) although I personally wouldn't start Nolasaco either.

Felix should start no matter what the matchup is
Garza has a solid matchup
Nolasco, Romero, and Wandy all have tough matchups but all 3 of them have been hot

I would sit Wolf simply because Nolasco, Romero, and Wandy have all been hot and are pitching very well. I wouldn't want to sit Nolasco, Romero, or Wandy at this point.

Can you help with mine?
