Yovani Gallardo off of waivers?

Postby mrp44 » Fri Jul 09, 2010 12:30 pm

I have an opportunity to add Gallardo off of waivers. I have the number 1 waiver position in my 10X10 roto league. I currently have Pedroia and Tulowitzki out but only 1 DL spot. Should I go ahead and add him and drop either Brandon Lyon or Evan Meek. I pretty sure I should, Im just getting cold feet with having too many players on my roster on DL. But since I just jumped into 2nd place I feel I'm able to ride out to Dl stint. Thoughts?

The short answer is yes, you definitely add him, as he's a stud starting pitcher. The real question is who do you drop? Does your league count holds? If not, then drop Brandon Lyon (I'm assuming you have him for holds). If your league does count holds, then I would probably drop Tommy Hunter.

No idea why someone would drop an ace pitcher like him...pick him up asap.

Thanks for the comments. That was what I needed to go ahead. Once the waiver clears I should have him on my roster Sunday and hope for a speedy recovery.
My pitching staff should be nothing short of solid for the last half.
Starting will now be Josh Johnson, Andy Pettitte, Clayton Richards, Ted Lilly, Tommy Hunter, and Yovani Gallardo.
With my Relief as Papelbon, Brian Wilson, and hopefully getting some holds(and saves and Ws) from Evan Meek,
