Drop Scott Baker or Gavin Floyd for Liriano?

Postby maj0819 » Sat Apr 03, 2010 11:01 pm

Should I pick up Francisco Liriano and drop Scott Baker or Gavin Floyd? I think Liriano could have a big bounce back year.

I would drop neither, Both Floyd and Baker will have better years then Liriano.

I do believe Liriano should be claimed, (nice sleeper) so you must have someone else to dump?

I'm a big believer in Liriano as well. I'd try to trade Baker and open a spot. I'd like to say drop Baker for Liriano, but I couldn't justify doing so.

Yeah show us your roster. But just on value alone I have never been that high on Floyd and think Liriano will have a nice year so I would drop Floyd for him.

please help

I'm with BigLebowski on this one. I think Liriano will have a good year, better than Baker even, I believe. But to justify this I would also try to trade Baker since I think he's marked up a little higher than he should. Maybe check your lineup and see what you lack most and sweeten the deal by throwing Baker in there and fill the opened spot with Liriano.

Id drop Floyd. Liriano is going to have a nice year IMO and will be better than both.

I agree with Aquaman, don't drop either one for Liriano. Baker and Floyd have both been reasonably solid pitchers over the last couple of years. Liriano had a good winter league and an okay spring training but lets see him pitch for real in a major league game that means something before we officially declare him an impact pitcher again.

Liriano provides more upside. But, downside also comes with him. If you want to sleep at night stand pat. If you like rollercoaster rides drop Floyd.

I would stand pat.

good luck
