De La Rosa, Anderson, Happ or Volquez? (WHIR)

Postby toobitter » Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:22 pm

I'm about to drop somebody to activate Billingsley from the DL.

i have the opportunity to grab one of the following starters and stash them in my DL slot.

Jorge De La Rosa
Brett Anderson
JA Happ
Edinson Volquez
Jair Jurrjens
Erik Bedard

which one would you recommend?

i was going back and forth between de la rosa and volquez, but now i really don't know.

what do you guys think?

i'm desperate for a solid starter for the remainder of the season.

I would go with Volquez. De la Rosa is a close second

Tons of good options here ... can't see you go wrong with too many of these guys really.

I'd go De La Rosa, Anderson, Volquez, Bedard, Jurrjens in that order.
Remember me?

I'm in the same situation as you. Both Volquez and De La Rosa are available.

From what I've read about Edison I'm a believer again. De La Rosa numbers are good but I like Volquez upside. I'm about to grab him as well.

I'd go in this order: De La Rosa, Anderson, Volquez, Bedard, Jurrjens.

Anderson will be the best pitcher of the group, but will likely pitch the most. That's why I gave De La Rosa the edge. Thanks for the help with mine.

de la Rosa for sure. Don't like Volquez because he's only 11 months off Tommy John and typical recovery to pre-injury success is about 16 months - or so "they" say.

Me personally i would go anderson de la rosa then volquez. Anderson when/if he can stay healthy puts up better numbers then the rest of the guys other then K's

I'd roll the dice on Volquez. For me - Volquez, De La Rosa, then Anderson.

Volquez would be my choice.
