Slowey or Harden for keeper

Postby LuftyJones » Thu Feb 11, 2010 11:28 pm

I got them both pretty cheap last year but I really only have the option to keep one of them. They both seemed to be leaving the ball up before they went on their respective dl stints. I know Slowey's peripheral numbers were pretty terrible last year, but I still think his ceiling is higher. Am I just dreaming or should I be realistic and take Harden for his strikeouts and dl trips.

Slowey is hugely underrated and can be had late. Perhaps gamble on Harden and get Slowey late.

Hard to say for me.

I really liked Harden--he has great stuff but he just can't stay healthy. Slowey is kind of an injury risk too, but not as much as Harden. Might even go as far as guaranteeing a Harden injury every season.

I would go with Y's Guy suggestion: Keep Harden and draft Slowey.

Harden. He has upside, and Slowey is very replacable. I wouldn't even really target him on draft day.
