I am in a 10 team H2H League and I am interested in picking up two pitchers. We have a 3 claim limit for each week. I only have two left. My pitching staff is slumping and I am looking for fillers until they get past their cold starts. Who should I drop for any two of the pitchers I listed below?
I am really interested in these pitchers, should I bite.
Jhoulys Chacin Tom Gorzelanny Wade LeBlanc
These are the others I am thinking about. ------------------------------------------
Mitch Talbot Jeff Niemann Livan Hernandez Jason Vargas Brandon Morrow
My team ------------------------
C: Bengie Molina 1B: Paul Konerko 2B: Ian Kinsler 3B: Jorge Cantu SS: Troy Tulowitzki OF: Jose Guillen OF: Ryan Braun OF: Shane Victorino UTIL: Rickie Weeks
Bench: Miguel Olivo
DL: Nelson Cruz and Brad Hawpe
Pitchers ---------- Adam Wainwright John Lester Josh Beckett Jair Jurrjens Chad Billingsley Wandy Rodriguez Brad Penny Kevin Correia Randy Wells
I would suggest Chacin + Niemann. Chacin looked lights out on Sunday against the Giants (unfortunately, I was there to see it). It was his first ever start, so who knows what you'll get going forward -- but he was once a top prospect, so he could pan out great. He's not a super-K pitcher, but he's got a Webb-like sinking pitch and incredible ground-ball/fly-ball numbers.
Niemann has great run support, and has looked solid all season. Again, not huge K numbers, but I like him.
Do you think that Correia will get me some wins? I was thinking about droping Olivo and Jose Guillen for them. What do you think? I don't mind going with out an outfield for a week.
