Would I regret this? WHIR!

Postby woowoo crew » Sat May 01, 2010 10:34 pm

I need to pick up another pitcher, but my problem is not knowing who to drop. My league only carries 3 bench spots and 1 DL. I have 2 guys on DL. I am thinking it's time to drop Reimold. Take a look at my team and tell me if you think I'd regret it in the long run. I'd rather hold onto Chapman right now I think.
********The available pitchers are listed 2 posts down.***************

12 team H2H keeper league.

My team:
C: Olivo (Montero on DL)
1B: Miguel Cabrera
2B: Zobrist
SS: Y. Escobar (could end up on DL, and i have no back up SS)
3B: Prado
1B/3B: Morneau
2B/SS: Callaspo
4 OF: Ethier, Rivera, Pence, Austin Jackson (just picked him up last night)
UTIL: Wigginton
Bench/DL: Nelson Cruz, Montero, Reimold
9 Pitchers: Verlander, Billingsley, Jurrjens, Romero, Wade Davis, Feldman, Heath Bell, Feliz, Chris Perez
Bench: Aroldis Chapman

If it is between Chapman and Reimold, I agree...Reimold is struggling right now and it sounds like he will be losing some playing time. Once Cruz returns I think the decision will be made a lot easier. What pitchers were you looking at to pick up?

Pitchers on my radar if I drop Reimold:

Correia
Morrow
Marcum
Randy Wells
Brett Cecil
Zambrano
E. Santana
Porcello
Harden (if he turns things around)
Arthur Rhodes (for holds and K/BB) *Many teams in my league don't have holds guys, so one guy can win the category for me.

Who would you pick up?

Thanks for the help. Drop Reimold. I was big on him this year. With his struggles and loss of playing time, I have already had to cut my losses.

Wells has been pitching well with a solid K/BB rate, same with Marcum - Marcum doesn't have the wins, but the Jays have to start scoring runs for him sometime, right? I have Marcum on my team and I like him, solid starts around 7 innings. I dont think you could go wrong with either of them especially with favorable matchups next week (Blue Jays have Cle. and Chi. and the Cubs have Pit and Cin.)

Drop Reimond if you haven't done so, hold on to Chapman for now, even though I doubt you may have to drop Chapman at some point later. I would pick up Randy Wells over Rich Harden. Wells is doing ok, and his k/9 is significantly better than last year. Most importantly, Wells can consistently go out there and not blow it up. Now Wells is the most consistent SP for Cubs (maybe after Ted Lily). Harden's 1.9 whip is IMO, much more worrisome than his 4.5 ERA. With that type of control, it's only a matter of time for Harden to blow it up really bad.

In a keeper I think Chapman needs to be rostered. Reimold is easily replaced.
