Drop David Price? WHIR

Postby battles » Sat Jul 25, 2009 6:54 pm

Since I'm playing in a non-keeper league, is Price even worth holding onto for the rest of the season? I've benched him for the time being, but it doesn't help much when he gives up 6 ER in 3 innings against the Jays. The only reason I can justify keeping him is the potential as he's shown in some games this season. At the same time it's always a huge risk starting him. Ubaldo Jimenez is sitting on waivers and I'm wondering if it's worth dropping Price for Jimenez. Or should I just wait this out and hope for the best? Appreciate the help, thanks.

I'd grab Ubaldo. In fact, I think I've dropped Price in every league in which I owned him. It just sucks having a pitcher you can't trust. Ubaldo has a high ceiling, as well, so you're not settling for some mediocre, Nick-Blackburn-when-he-was-still-kind-of-lucky type.

Price just sucks right now, but I don't think you'll be doing yourself any favors picking up Ubaldo, a sell low stance might net you more for the remainder of the year.

I like Ubaldo, but like Price, his control can be inconsistent. The difference between the two is Price is serving up hitter's pitches and getting drilled for it.
