Good question re: Garcia and Latos. My pitching staff was crazy deep so I flipped those two for Rios. Of course, you can afford to do that when you have Lincecum, Greinke, Kershaw, Liriano, Price, Billingsley, Marcum, Gio Gonzalez, Mike Pelfrey, and Anibal Sanchez. My staff rolls deep!! 😉
In a keeper league that counts W, L, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP and pitching staff of:
Verlander
C Buchholz
Lester
Francis
Volstad
Medlen
Jhoulys Chacin
Hensley
Talbot
Westbrook
Masterson
Who do I drop when De La Rosa and Zimmermann come off the DL? I’m not liking what Masterson has done lately, I’m hoping he can at least keep the K rate up, but he might just end up as a situational reliever if he can’t figure out the lefites. Considering that Talbot has been inconsistent, not getting the K’s and probably not in the rotation next season I’m pretty sure he’s safe to drop, my other option is Westbrook. I’m also thinking that with Hensley’s age he may not be worth holding on to (is a MR really worth holding on to anyway?). So I’m torn between Hensley, Masterson, Westbrook and Talbot. Who should I drop?
Chris – just one mans opinion buy I’d drop talbot and Westbrook if it were my call. I had masterson and dropped him in a shallower non-keeper league, but given his strong k rate, age, bad luck and once prospect status, I ride it out with him in your bench till he figures it out.
