Rank these feast/famine type SP's

[so0perspam]

2004 WHIP- 1.23
2003 WHIP- 1.33
2002 WHIP- 1.31
3-year average: 1.29

nice math - Im sure you discounted last yr becuase he only pitched 80-something Inns, right?

Okay is 1.32 better? I was just disproving your statement that he was a 1.38 WHIP pitcher....

[raiders_umpire]

the only one of that bunch i really will be looking to grab during the draft this year is bonderman unless you are meaning livan hernandez...the rest will be FA in my league if it were up to me..... not saying that i would not pick them up if they are start off well, but i will not be looking at them to be major fantasy producers for my team this year......

[Cornbread Maxwell]

Well all these pitchers are pretty bad .... and I wouldn't want any of them either, but looking at the other guys on that list, I wouldn't be dissapointed with Pettitte.

Bonderman is a huge breakout candidate - check out his 2nd half #s. That "team sucks" argument is simply ridiculous - as is picking pitchers because of their W totals.

If Ws are so important, take Glavine - as he will no longer be the #1 in NY, he should get some better matchups - his ERA is solid, but his WHIP is scary as are his Ks. I say no worse than Pettitte overall.

I think Millwood is a good comeback candidate, but not someone I would take until the last couple rds.

I wont draft Pettitte.

updated to note orlando as the hernandez


the tigers are a bad team...like it or not. I like bondermans upside as well...but the tigers will limit his value

[Scott Boras Client]

Bonderman (breakout possibility)
Millwood (decent peripherals, run support + opponent quality in CLE)
Glavine (better if Beltran signs, but still a no draft for me)
Pettitte (Park will kill you)
Leiter (WHIP will kill you)
Milton (Sucky flyball pitcher in HR park)
El Duque is like 52 -- and last seen injured

I would not be unhappy with any of them as a cheap bottom of the roster SP, except Milton who is a real piece of crap. Bonderman I rate higher, I am ready to take a jump onto the bandwagon.

I agree with you ol' cornbread! Bonderman's stats were very nice after tha ASbreak.....and that team is not the hideous creature it used to be.

[so0perspam]

No doubt, I'm expecting a big year from Bondy as well .... That's why I dealt Pavano to upgrade one of my other keepers in my money league so I could keep him.

[stevethumb]

i am a NL guy but i would lean to bonderman then millwood..if forced i would put pettitte 3rd..glavine does nothing for me

[mtarail]

Well, out of all the people on that list the only one I'd draft in roto is Millwood, towards the end of the draft. (Why? Because in terms of upside he can help you across the board if he's healthy and pitching well..)

In h2h I'd take a chance on Leiter, Bonderman or Glavine at the end of the draft.

Pettitte won't be available at the end of the draft, so I'm gonna stay out of that argument.
