B. Anderson for Wandy?

Postby gergy9 » Fri Apr 02, 2010 3:25 pm

I have been offered Wandy Rodriguez for Brett Anderson. I suppose he offered Wandy to me due to his awful spring. At the same time i think Anderson ceiling may be higher this year than last. THoughts?? THanks in advance. WHIR!

If its a 1 year league,
Wandy feels safer. His 09 should be repeatable with a little bit of drop off.
Brett Anderson's inning jump has a chance to mess up his 2010.
Depending on whether or not your staff can take a gamble greatly influences your decision. If you have some studs with track records, take a chance on Anderson. If you could use a safer producer, I'd roll with Wandy.

Wandy isn't that safe, IMO, because he doesn't have great stuff. Anderson is an ace in the making, and I would go with him.

I agree that it depends on type of league and other SP. Wandy is slightly safer because Anderson is the classic rookie SP that dominates his first year and has a drop off in the second year (remember Zach Duke, David Bush, Fausto Carmona, not that I am saying Anderson's numbers are similar just that all had good 1st years and then problems the next year). So if this is one year I would think about Wandy unless your SP is stacked and you can more easily take a risk.

+1 ;-D

Unless it's a keeper or dynasty league, then Anderson all the way.
