Slowey or Carmona over Matusz?

Postby dubstar » Fri Mar 26, 2010 10:39 pm

Slowey and Carmona are having great springs, for whatever that's worth. Carmona still scares me a bit. I like Matusz, but I wonder if Slowey or Carmona is a better option for me. Doesn't help that Matusz pitches in the AL East. Thoughts? Slowey would give me 3 Twins starters, not sure if that is good or bad. Guess it depends on how Target Field plays.

Slowey is the best out of that bunch right now, but Matusz has a way higher ceiling especially in a keeper league. He'll only get better. I'd stay away from Carmona. I really think Baltimore should be quite a bit better this year. Personally, I'd roll the dice and go Matusz and his upside. Good luck!

I like Slowey a lot for this year, and Matusz does have a whole mess of upside. That said, I'm not sure I drop Matusz for Slowey. I'd be tempted tp try and swing a 2-1 trade to open up a slot for Slowey though.

Slowey is fully recovered from that wrist injury and, as you mentioned, has been lights out this spring, which is a good sign coming off that injury.

Slowey is the best of those 3, IMO, and Matusz follows. If you plan/are able to keep Matusz, that makes him even more appealing.

We only keep 4, so Matusz would not be kept.

thanks for all the feedback, I am leaning towards just holding onto Matusz.

Man, Carmona pitched great again Saturday! I am gonna kick myself if this guy is for real again and I pass him up, haha.
