Drop Harang or Lowe? WHIR

Postby pinstripe23 » Tue Apr 06, 2010 1:04 pm

I'm in a 10-team Fantasy Points league which counts for pitchers (W, L, QS, CG, SO, IP, K, BB, H, HR, ER) and I have a starting rotation of
Jimenez
W. Rodriguez
Shields
E.Santana
Liriano.

So no real top rotation pitchers, although plenty of upside.

My SP bench includes
Harang
Lowe
Morrow
Duchsherer
Marcum

I need to make a move to activate Heyward from my minors slot, but I need to remove an active player, would you drop Harang or Lowe? While I think that Morrow, Duch, and Marcum have more risk, they have more upside as well.

I'd drop either Lowe or Morrow.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lowe is done being fantasy useful this season as some of the trends of last year are more than disconcerting. If you're a believer, then just drop Morrow as a LOT has to go right for him to be useful, especially in that division. Sure, the upside is there, but given your relative lack of depth at SP, I'd go for a surer thing. Don't drop Harang, since he should give you nice SO totals that will help his value given your league settings. Also, I'm not very high on Marcum, but wouldn't drop him just yet; I'd shop him aggressively, perhaps paired with Harang, for a minor upgrade... think a Gavin Floyd type.

Lowe is barely usable now. Low Ks, deteriorating ERA/WHIP... I'd dump him. Harang is not too far behind, for all his Ks he is an ERA/WHIP destroyer.
