Week 3 WW checkup...WHIR

[Whosyomamma]

I know it's still early but just wanted to get a check on if there are any WW pickups that might provide better long-term value for my roster:

Hitters -
Wigginton
Kotchman
Byrd
Callaspo
Ankiel
Venable
O.Hudson
Doumit
Teahan
Ad.Laroche

Pitchers -
G.Floyd
Matusz
Harang
Buchholz
Lindstrom
Chapman
Pavano

Here is my team and league details (10-team H2H Std League - Weekly Rosters)
Start C,1B,2B,3B,SS,IF,4-OF,Util,5-SP,2-RP (Stats = R,HR,RBI,SB,BB,AVG,W,L,SV,K,ERA,WHIP)
C- G.Soto, J.Clement
1B- Fielder
2B- B.Phillips
3B- E.Longoria
SS- Bartlett, A.Cabrera(2B)
OF- Holliday, Lind, Ad.Jones, C.Gonzalez, K.Blanks, N.Reimold, S.Podsednik
SP- Wainwright, Hamels, Nolasco, Slowey, M.Scherzer, P.Hughes, S.Marcum
RP- C.Marmol, R.Soriano, C.Qualls, C.Perez

If you only start one C, I would drop Clement and pick-up Floyd/Matusz. Not too clear who you're starting in the OF/IF/Util positions, but I would drop your weakest bench bat for the other pitcher. Maybe swap out Chris Perez for Matt Lindstrom too, because Kerry Wood is nearing a return and will most likely be given the closer role back.

Right now here is my typical starting lineup:
C - Soto
1B - Fielder
2B - Phillips
3B - Longoria
SS - Bartlett
IF - A.Cabrera
OF - Holliday
OF - Lind
OF - C.Gonzalez
OF - Podsednik
Util - Blanks
SP - Wainwright, Hamels, Nolasco, (rotate between Slowey, Hughes, Scherzer and Marcum for the final 2 SP spots)
RP - Marmol, Soriano
Bench - Ad.Jones, Clement, Reimold, Qualls, C.Perez and whichever SP is not in the final 2 SP spots.

OK, with your lineup I would personally:

Drop Reimold, Pick up Willingham
Drop Clement, Pick up Floyd
Drop Perez, Pick up Lindstrom (for the same reasons mentioned by above poster)

I like Matusz but playing in AL east and for BALT limits upside this year a tad; Floyd is better than this as are the Whitesox. I am a Willingham believer, as long as he is healthy he can do this all year long. Too much uncertainty with Perez once Wood returns, and Lindstrom has pitched well (albeit limited opportunities in HOU).

Good Luck.

Thanks Doc and thejusman1. Only problem Doc is that I didn't list Willingham as another owner already has him on his roster. I listed Wigginton. I already dropped Perez for Lindstrom, Floyd is actually on waivers so I put in a claim (#3 waiver spot) for him which will drop Clement for him if I'm successful. I'm holding onto Reimold at the moment as the injury to Pie should push Reimold back into a clearer starting spot once he recovers from his Achilles injury. Any other thoughts?

Matusz should be owned in all league IMO. Pick him up asap


Can you help here plz?
