Time to give up on Slowey & WW question? WHIR

[saemick]

Had a good start to the season...and that's about it. I've still been hanging onto him, but I'm thinking it's time to cut bait. Here's a list of available pitchers:

Mike Leake (CIN - SP)
Jhoulys Chacin (COL - SP, RP)
Ian Kennedy (ARI - SP)
Wade LeBlanc (SD - SP)
Scott Olsen (WAS - SP)
any other regulars on the WW that you can think of

Current roster:

12-team 6x6 H2H Yahoo! NON-KEEPER league (includes HOLDS)
c: Doumit
1b: Miguel Cabrera
2b: Cano
ss: Stephen Drew
3b: David Wright
IF: Kelly Johnson
OF: Heyward, Carlos Gonzalez, BJ upton
Utl: Freese
BN: Ian Desmond, Grady Sizemore
SP: Hamels, Nolasco, James Shields, J. Sanchez, Buchholz, Slowey, Holland
RP: Bell, Wilson, Neftali Feliz, Rodney, Joba
DL: Granderson, Mike Gonzalez
Stat categories: Hitters: R, HR, RBI, SB, BA, OPS Pitchers: W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, HOLDS

Also, are any of the below hitters better than anyone above on my roster:

Corey Hart (MIL - OF)
Luke Scott (BAL - 1B, OF)
Troy Glaus (ATL - 1B)
Mike Stanton (FLA - OF) - take an early chance??

Y, I would drop him in a non-keeper. with such potential on the WW
High on Leake & Chacin.

[featsofstrength]

after deliberating for days, i dropped him this AM for Marcum. I would swap him for Leake.

Leake has great upside and im very high on him this year. i feel slowey is performing very "slowly" and will be outperformed by the young rookie.
HELP me with a similair question?

So, I'm basically between Leake and Chacin. Any insight into who will be better?

Also, anyone have an answer to the 2nd question?

thanks in advance

I would just sit still with the hitters you mentioned - I don't know who you would be willing to drop. As for Leake and Chacin, I would go with Leake. Leake has gone at least 6 innings in all of his starts so you can expect quality starts from him. He is very young but has been pitching really well.

Help with mine, please?

Leake and Chacin are kind of a toss up. Leake's been helped by a .245 BABIP and .77 HR/9. I expect both of those numbers to climb as the summer heats up. Chacin is a similar story as hitters have only a .223 BABIP against him. He is striking out 8.41 batters per 9 though, so he has a FIP of 3.54, compared to Leake's 4.08.

Pretty even. I think I may give the edge to Chacin based on the lousy NL West lineups that he gets to face.

As for hitters, since you're playing H2H, I might dump Desmond for Scott if you need some power numbers this week. Scott is on a tear right now. If you're bullish on Desmond - I think he'll be better next year, I'd hold on the hitters.

Chacin may not have a spot when DeLaRosa, keep an eye on how that plays out.Freese and K Johnson look to me to be coming back down. Scott should be played against every rhp he faces right now.LeBlanc is a must start every home game. With so many good choices available I'd just play matchups all the time, kind of keep a couple spots switching every week.

2nd Q: Hart and Scott have a pretty good chance of being better than desmond, so monitor them this week.
1st Q: I completely agree with the previous poster, I'd say chaucin except for the fact that he's extremely young and derosa is the proven player and coming back. One mediocre start by Chaucy could get him uberdemoted. Chaucin's K rate is a little better than Leake's but I think thats just Leake's epic adjustment to the majors from practically tee ball. He'll get there, I took a chance on leake over chaucin and i dont regret it. Unless you want to use Chaucin in your RP spot, in that case, hit him up.


See what you think of mine, theres a post at the bottom of the thread where I updated the situation, any advice?

I'd definitely add Leake over Slowey right now. The potential for Leake is much higher IMO, although i've personally never been high on Slowey either way. Keep the hitters you have.


thanks for mine.
