Drop Zambrano for....

Postby ddog5843 » Fri Apr 16, 2010 12:21 pm

Losing confidence in Zambrano. Too early? Not sure. My favorites from the SP waiver wire include B. Penny, C. Pavano, Colby Lewis and M. Pelfrey. Do any of these figure to be a solid upgrade from Zambrano or should I just hope he gets better?

Zambrano should get better. I do not know his injury history too well, but I have read that he has has some wrist issues. I don't think that any of the other guys that you listed are better options. If you are really can't wait out Zambrano's up's and down's, wait until he has a big game and look to trade him.

I hate Zambrano...but part of it is just his stupid attitude. I think Penny will be great this year, though his K's will be lower than Z's more than likely...of course Z could be on the DL for months, so who knows. I would drop Z for Penny, personally.

Thanks for the reply's guys. I waited patiently and came to the conclusion that Z had value as a K machine. Penny was still available, so I dumped Wolf instead and picked him up.
