Drop Billingsley for Colby Lewis?

Postby Gnu314 » Thu May 06, 2010 4:17 pm

Simple question, I'm not going to bore you with my roster.

I skipped Bill's start last night and was happy with that decision.

Should I just drop him for Lewis. Marcum is already taken.

Give Billingsley a bit more time...He has too much talent and too much potential. Colby shouldn't be on waivers though. Do you have anyone else you can drop?

Please Help

It would help to show us your roster because I don't think you should give up on Billingsley yet, but I do think you should find a way to get Lewis on your roster by dropping someone else.

Don't give up on Billingsley yet. Too rash to drop him, seeing how his struggles could be due in part to him becoming more comfortable with his modified mechanics.

Colby Lewis should be added in any league, but don't drop Bills for him. Post your roster.

My roster...

Its a 9 team league fwiw.

My line up
Jorge Posada
P. Fielder
Kelly Johnson
Mark Reynolds
Matt Kemp
Carlos Lee
Colby Rasmus
Util - Brett Gardner
BN - Manny Ramirez
BN - Jacoby Ellsbury

Pitchers
Johan
Matt Cain
RP - Leo Nunez
RP - Jon Rausch
P - Frank Francisco
P - Kevin Gregg
BN - Jake Peavy
BN - Chad Billingsley
BN - Dan Haren
BN - Francisco Liriano
DL - Huston Street

I suppose I could drop Frank Francisco but I'm currently leading the league in wins and 2nd in Ks. When Street comes back he is my most likely drop candidate.

Ach! That's a hard one...I think Lewis will end up with an ERA closer to 4, similar on W's...lots of K's though. I'm not a huge Billingsly fan, but I think he has the POTENTIAL to be better overall...maybe hang onto him a bit longer.

Agree with this posted. Would also drop Peavy before Billingsley.
