Zach-
Who would you drop since Colby Lewis is coming back Anibal Sanchez or Zach McAllIister? I have Bumgarner, McDonald, Strasburg, Zimmermann, Gio Gonzalez. I’m in a vanilla league.
Thank you,
Suzanne
Suzanne,
McAllister. Anibal shouldn’t be dropped in pretty much any league. His track record suggests that he will rebound from what has been an inconsistent stretch of late. McAllister is more of an unknown. He’s still a PoD guy.
Zach
Zach,
I have two trades just proposed to me
Get Beltre for Beltran
Get A-Rod and Gio for Shields Beltran and Rasmus
what do ya think?
Bill,
I like the first trade if you have a need for a 3B, though it’s far from a no-brainer. Pass on the second trade. I think you’re selling low on Shields and I’m pretty much fed up with A-Rod. He’s been too inconsistent. Gio is great but his numbers are just too good right now, so I’m not sure I’d be actively targeting him as you might get stuck with the worst part of his season.
Zach
I need to drop somebody to activate Halladay today. Should I drop Vargas or Cahill?
Thanks for any help!
Chris,
That’s a tough one as those two are very close in value. I’ll say drop Vargas. He has a history of poor second halves (5.42 ERA last year) and Cahill’s overall numbers this year are just a little better.
Zach
coming off 3 innings of rehab, and 2 months of not throwing, is Halladay a pitch or sit in 20 team H2H league, standard 5×5….pitching cats are tight this week between my opponent and I. thanks
Rokhed,
Yes, Halladay’s a guy I’d always pitch, particularly in a 20-team league and vs. a Dodgers club that isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut.
Zach
Thanks, Zach! I appreciate your help. Vargas it is.
