Play or pickup which players? whir

Postby skjelstrom » Thu Apr 29, 2010 10:29 pm

This is mostly a question about who I should play this week but the other forum is NEVER checked and need feedback quickly. What 3 pitchers should I use this week, in my weekly league?

Matusz @ NYY
Marcum vs. OAK
Bucholz vs. LAA
Hamels vs. STL
Matt Capps (thought Id throw him in since my SV's are getting behind, but will he continue his amazing production??)

Or pick up one of these and start them. (and most likely drop Marcum but if you have a better suggestion, my team is in my profile) (If you think any of these are worthy to pick up and would be good, let me know.)

Gavin Floyd vs. KC
Jaime Garcia @ PHI
Livan Hernandez vs. ATL
C.J. Wilson @ SEA

Leave and link and Ill be sure to help you out.

Those are some tough matchups. I'd feel fine with starting Marcum, the rest you're ERA is most likely going to take a hit. I like the Floyd pickup, he looked good last game and has an easier matchup. For a third I'd go with Hamels. He hasn't been great, but his K/BB radio has been pretty solid, his ERA and WHIP aren't as bad as it seems.

Just as another note. Matusz has been doing good against NYY in his career so far. In 2 starts vs Yankees he has 13 IP with a 2.77 ERA and .260 BAA.

If that influences your opinion at all.

Is Bucholz vs. LAA a bad matchup considering how he has been pitching? Or would you rather play Marcum or Capps?

Gavin Floyd and Jamie Garcia shouldn't be free agents. If Garcia has RP eligibility, pick him up NOW (same for CJ Wilson, but Garcia is better). Floyd vs. KC is enticing. While I'd keep Matsuz on the roster, I shy away from starts against the Yankees...at the Yankees.
