Re: Which Pitcher(s) to keep?

Posted by Mike on 4/15/2004, 2:06 am, in reply to "Which Pitcher(s) to keep?"

Here's what I did to come up with the answer...I put your team in my league (we also are 5x5 with 14 owners, so this should work out great.) I tried one without Herges, Myers, Lee and Lawrence. The best advice I can give you is to not drop Lawrence, and that's not even considering the fact that the ball is simply getting knocked down in that San Diego park right now. Dropping Lawrence was easily the worst move. The other three were all within 1 point of each other. Personally, I'd drop Herges. Being a reliever in a 5x5, his upside isn't as great as the others. On the other hand, Myers and Lee, being bottom-rung starters, could kill you if they falter, so you would have to be prepared to ditch them if it appears as if they're going south.
Best yet, do the same thing I did with YOUR league and see what the results are.
