I'm interested in people's thoughts on which of these guys you favor for the rest of the year. Pitching categories are Saves, Outs, K's, ERA, and WHIP.
Derek Holland Jaime Garcia Colby Lewis Ryan Dempster Kyle Lohse Edwin Jackson Jake Peavy Bartolo Colon
I'd probably be dropping Ubaldo Jimenez. Wish Wainwright would stop getting shelled. Could drop Billingsley, but he's going OK.
Might consider dempster here. Right now he's dominant. I have no delusions that he will be this good all year. But even so, he will be a 190 k pitcher and if there's one thing it's tough to find on the wire, it's k's.
Note that wins isn't a category for us. Why do you guys like him so much? His career ERA/WHIP/K numbers are nothing fancy. Do you think this is a breakout year?
I also noticed the strikeout numbers for Dempster. Who would you rather drop between Ubaldo and Chad?

Holland's a former top prospect, has a couple of years experience out of the way, looked great in the second half of last year, racks up strikeouts, and is a lock to win 15 with that Texas offense behind him.
