i currently have have de la rosa, but marcum is available.
the downside with dlR is obv coors field and his control issues, but he should post 14-17 wins with lots of K's
Marcum wont strikeout as many guys and most liekly wont win as many games pitching so foten vs NY boston and tampa, but his era and WHIP will likely be better and he will proabbly go deeper into games on avg so he should have more oppurtunities to get quality starts ... so who would you go with and why?
also keep in mind there is NO limit for max innings pitched, (25inning min) so i can basically start as many pitchers per week as i want

anyone?

I think I would drop Duchscherer or Matusz before anyone else.

i think matzus wiill get stronger as the season goes on... hes been very strong the first 5-6 innings of his starts and then he seems to tire. but that should improve with time. his team is terrible, but i like his strikeout rate.

what specifically about duch do you not like?

I would stick with what you have. I like Marcum but if you did take him I would drop Duch also. DLR is a better pitcher and Duch is injury prone.

Agree 100%. De La Rosa > Marcum >> Duch
