Should I bench John Lackey?

Postby Ke Akua » Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:42 am

He burned me pretty bad in the first week but he's going against a mediocre offense tonight in oakland. Not exactly Yanks and Rangers. So do I take the chance?

If you've sat with him so far, stick him out through this start, my box score for lackey tonight is something along the lines of 6ip 2er 5k's win

I agree to start him, I mean if you can't start him against oakland why even have him on your team?

I agree, that's why if he fails me again tonight he's getting dumped.

It seems no offense is mediocre these days in April. Lol.

Start Lackey.

Also, what kind of league are you in? If it's H2H, definitely. If it's a cumulative league (this is my first year doing any kind of fantasy sport, so I assume they have yearly total leagues also), start him anyways.
