Buchholz or Marcum? WHIR 100%

[saemick]

With the news that the BoSox might only roll with 4 starters for the first 2 weeks of the season & the fact that Buchholz hasn't exactly looked that sharp this ST, should I Drop him for Marcum?

Below is my current roster:

12-team 6x6 H2H Yahoo! NON-KEEPER league (includes HOLDS)
c: Doumit
1b: Miguel Cabrera
2b: Cano
ss: Stephen Drew
3b: David Wright
IF: Chris Davis
OF: Sizemore, Granderson, BJ upton
Utl: Carlos Gonzalez
BN: E. Cabrera, Heyward
SP: Hamels, Nolasco, James Shields, Scherzer, J. Sanchez, Buchholz, Slowey
RP: Bell, Mike Gonzalez, Wood, Neftali Feliz, Frasor
2x DL spots

Hitters: R, HR, RBI, SB, BA, OPS Pitchers: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, HOLDS

Thanks for the input. I am really big on Marcum.

Mark me down for Marcum -- essentially the defacto ace of the Jays it seems.

help me please?

Since it is not a keeper I could see doing this. Maybe wait for Wood to hit the DL first and pick him up with out dropping Bucholz. See how they each start the season before needing to make a decision.

Once Wood goes on the DL, I think I'm gonna try to get a good "Holds" candidate like Gregerson, Caridad, or Bard, so that limits my options with that.

Also, the owner that has Bedard, might be willing to trade him for Buchholz straight up. I could move Bedard to the DL and slide Marcum in to that spot if he goes for it....thoughts??

I would do it. Marcum has more potential and value imo. He has shown flashes of ace stuff in the past and will likely be the #1 for the jays.

Because your Kinsler post was both insightful and hilarious:

I am posting again to add that I too think Marcum has shown ace flashes and more consistency than Bucholz, who may not even have the consistency of diahrea at this point.
