Pick up big Z?

Postby CMCrai » Wed Apr 21, 2010 11:50 pm

Would any of you pick up Zambrano and stash him? 9k performance and straight to the pen? He's paid too much to be a RP RIGHT? This can't last,

Who would you drop? I could see Z being a long reliever for a bit until he regains the confidence of his coaches and then be put back into the rotation. This should be a real eye opener for big Z, and hopefully he takes it seriously and works hard to get back.

Drop Lewis for Z. It's better to have him when he comes back than to watch someone else pick him up and use him against you.

1. Definitely pick up big Z. Definitely drop Lews not strasburg

2. In a 12 team league I definitely think someone would be putting in a claim on Zambrano. It hurts to blow your WW but how much of a better player can you really get at this point in the year with your WW. In a month when Silva and Gorzo have 5 ERA's and Zambrano is back in the rotation you are going to be glad you used your WW>

I pulled the trigger and did it. I'm sure the guys with the 1 & 2 priority will not claim him. Thanks for all the help.
