Add Chris Sale and drop McCarthy or Marcum?

[maj0819]

I have Brandon McCarthy and Shawn Marcum. Would you drop one of these for Chris Sale? Hearing a lot of good things about him this year. Here are my pitching categories.

W, L, BB, ERA, WHIP, K, Saves

i wouldn't drop either, especially McCarthy.

I'd probably hold tight. Though if Marcum gets dl'd (looks unlikely), Sale is a good add.

Also, Sale may well be shut down early, so his value takes a hit in h2h (vs roto).

I like McCarthy a lot. Marcum ain't too bad himself. But I'd definitely try to fit Sale into your team somehow. Kid's real deal.

Add Sale. Drop McCarthy.

[HOOTIE]

Add Sale. Drop McCarthy.

Why you down on McCarthy?

[mpieco]

Drop McCarthy? I hope the original poster has enough sense to listen to the 5 or 6 other people who said to not drop McCarthy.

Did anyone see him today in Japan? He pitched well (not as well as he even could, but still....7 innings, 1 run?). I have a lot of shares in McCarthy this year...7 rosters out of 10. I'm expecting good things.

And Marcum is solid, but yes, injury-prone. Definitely keep an eye on Sale. In a 10-team league I don't think he's even worth rostering, but certainly worth watching for now.

Well, I like BMac, but he's injury-prone, as well. Sale should have a great k rate, as well. Like I said, I'd probably hold onto McCarthy in most formats, but they are close.

Add Sale. Drop McCarthy.
