What to do with Brandon Webb?

[Padres Fan]

I have Brandon Webb on my roser, and hearing that he is having season ending shoulder surgery, do I drop him or stash him and keep him for next year?

I think there are players on your roster I'd protect over a pitcher having shoulder surgery. This is just a judgement call on whether you think webb will come back and be his old self again. He might, or he might go all Jason Schmidt on you...

I think you have enough keepers as is to not have to worry about Webb. That being said, who would you drop him for? If you don't need or want anyone in particular you might as well stash him and wait it out and see if he comes back healthy next year.

please help

that's tough, i don't really see any sure things on the waiver wire, but if you think they're an upgrade then i'd go for it because i'm really skeptical about pitchers coming off of shoulder surgery. like someone else said, some pitchers come back strong (schilling) and some don't (schmidt). it's a tough call, who would you keep over him? weeks or heyward? i might gamble and hold onto webb, he has been top 2 in cy young voting 3 years in a row? and hope he comes back strong.

I really don't like keeping pitchers that much, I like how Weeks played prior ti injury and hewould be a decent 2B option and Heyward just looks like he could be a great OF option bu I think I already have him in McCutchen

Shop him around. In a keeper league he still has value.
