Drop Braden for Olsen?

[De Varenne]

I tend to do it. Braden has another start in this week and its on sunday against a powerfull TB lineup thats already beat him in this season. Olsen on the other hand has had 4 fantastic outings and he will start 2 games next week. I do not plan to start Braden against Shields and TB on Sunday so i actually dont even lose a start. I dont think Olsen will be on the waivers for long so i have to decide if i do the move today or probably never.

What do you guys think?

Leave a link and i will do my best to help you out in return.

I picked him up in the middle of his near no-no last night, but I didn't have to drop anyone for him. I'm pretty sure I'll be starting him next week on the 2 start week as well, barring any clear evidence why I shouldn't.

If you look at his numbers, besides 1 awful start against Colorado, he's been fantastic this year. The 1 start is just inflating his ERA.

Thanks for your reply but i HAVE to drop someone to get him and i plan to drop Braden. What do you think? Would you do it?

Olsen has good stuff but no one was paying attention until his 7+ inning no no. Braden is a better option.

[De Varenne]

Could you elaborate a little bit? I mean Braden is nothing special either, he had a good early run but i am pretty sure he will slow down considerably. The A's as a team will slow down aswell so he wont get the run support he had so far. Me personally think Olsen is a better option with better stuff and simply more talent. The Nats lineup is underrated. Its a pretty good lineup with guys like willingham, Dunn and Zimmerman being able to rough up anyone. I dont know, i still tend to add Olsen and drop Braden until someone convinces me of the opposite.

However thanks for you reply

Is Braden the only guy you'd be willing to drop? Are there any fringe position players you could dump?

[De Varenne]

Well i think he is. I think i need all my other players.

Its kind of a lateral move imo and I think Braden is a little better so I would stand pat for now.
