Thanks, WHIR

Anyone

I'd stay put as I've never been a Blanton fan and I don't think you have an obvious drop. The other two are really no brainers.

I'm real high on Leake and don't like Kazmir at all so I would have no problem making that switch.

Blanton doesn't offer too much. I like where you are at right now. If anything see how his first start or two go then make a decision.

please help

I wouldn't make a change there. As a last pitcher on your staff, blanton doesn't offer the upside you want there like Kazmir and Carmona do.

So as not to create a new thread for the same question, I have Blanton on my DL (10-man, 5x5 H2H points leage) so when he comes off someone from my rotation has to go. Unfortunately, my rotation is nowhere near as strong TC's:

Jiminez, Beckett, Burnett, Penny, Billingsley, Correia, Pavano, Gorzelanny

I picked Gorzelanny up for today only as a spot starter and while I don't expect him to maintain 8+ K/9, his 1.10 WHIP and 2.48 ERA makes him look awfully attractive to me right now. Of course I don't expect those numbers to hold either, but it seems feasible that he could be at least just as effective Blanton this season, if not a little more so given that Blanton is coming off an injury. Thoughts?

I wouldn't drop anyone till Blanton makes a start or two. If he looks good and you have to decide I would probably drop Pavano.
