Well, Dusty did it and placed Chapman in the setup role. Should I rush and drop Cecil, and if so, for who? Or should I hang on and wait for some late bloomer?? Key here is Axford being my #6 pitcher according to CBS projections. Would the pitcher I get slot in ahead of him?
Here are the waiver wire pitchers I am scouting:
Lohse Maholm Milone Mendoza Feldman Millwood
12 team points keeper league. 15 hitters, 10 pitchers. 1 point per TB, bb = 1, r = 1, rbi = 2, sb = 2, cs = -1 IP = 1, K = 1, W = 10, QS = 5, S = 5, BS = -5,L=-5,ER=-2,BB=-1 We start 1 at each position plus an EH. 6 pitchers, weeekly lineups

really ... Chapman has no defined role yet. If he is setup, he is worthless in my league.
Because Pettite is worthless and has no potential. Chapman at least has potential.
I agree. As of right now Chapman has way more potential then Pettite. In fact, every option you listed has more potential then Pettite right now. IMO.
As someone above stated, Chapman still has a chance to grab the closer job. Even though it looks like Sean Marshall will take the job. So if you dont want to take a chance with Chapman, go for Lohse.
Check our scoring system. RP get points for saves. We do not have categories, so he is only my #6 point getter. I would dump Cecil, not Axford for Lohse but only if Lohse would be more valuable than Axford.
