Need pitching advice, drop pettite?

Postby mikemc59 » Sun Sep 05, 2010 4:12 pm

Got the #1 seed in my league, first matchup starts tomorrow, and it looks like pettite will not even play a game this week, so I think I am going to drop him.. Also, who could be a good candidate to replace broxton, who obv isnt saving any more games this season?

My team as it stands:

SP- Jair Jurgens
SP-Jered Weaver
SP- Ubaldo Jiminez
SP - Phil Hughes
SP - Matt Latos
SP - Jon Lester
SP - Jonathan Sanchez
SP - Andy Pettite
RP- Matt Capps
RP- Carlos Marmol
RP - Huston Street
RP- Jonathan Broxton


Thinking of adding J.A Happ to replace pettite, or would I be better off just hanging on to pettite and hoping I make it through to the final week without him even playing? Slim pickings otherwise.. Could add vasquez, de la rosa, rich harden.

For RP.. thinking about dropping broxton for another rp who will just keep era and whip down with a possible chance at a win or save, thinking daniel bard might be a good swap?

Thanks for the help!!

I'd hang on to Pettitte, if you can. As for Broxton that has good numbers, I'd go with Bard, or Gregerson, or I'm assuming Hung-Chi-Kuo has been taken. Out of all those guys you listed I'd like to have De la Rosa... Good Luck
I guess there was no curse... Boston just sucked for 86 years...

No don't drop Pettitte. I'd be worried about Hughes unless this is a keeper.
