Pitch or Ditch for Friday, August 10
CORY’S PICKS
Buchholz @ Seddon
Hochevar @ M. Gonzalez – Miguel has been solid and KC is a choice matchup
F. Garcia @ Romero – Chief worth a gamble vs. struggling Jays in deeper leagues
Scherzer @ Feldman – bench but don’t cut Max, unless desperate for K’s
McCarthy @ Floyd – play it safe and bench but don’t cut B-Mac on his return
Hellickson @ De Vries
King Felix @ Big Erv
Bailey @ Germano – Bailey MUCH better on the road than at home
Volquez @ McDonald – J-Mac is fading and Volquez is DTM
Lohse @ Halladay
Maholm @ Harvey – Maholm worth a look in deeper leagues
Kershaw @ Buehrle
Rogers @ Norris
Strasburg @ Cahill
Chatwood @ Lincecum

Going to dropping Mark Buehrle. Which of these pitchers will help my WHIP the most?
Mike Fiers
Scott Diamond
Bartolo Colón
José Quintana
(take a short waiting period for) Brandon McCarthy
Jon from Texas
Well that depends, what kind of stuff does Jon from Texas have.
Jon,
Going forward, I’d probably choose Colon as he has an extensive history of posting stellar WHIP numbers. BUT I’d approach this similarly to pitch or ditch and just pick up guys based on the matchup to put yourself in the best position.
Zach
well in case Kipnis is out for a period of time who would you prefer as a pick up….Ackley, barney/ Weeks(oak) Roberts(TB) Amarista/ Valdespin(NYM)
Alan,
None of those guys particularly stand out among the rest but I guess I’d go with Barney. He’ll probably hurt you the least.
Zach
Who should I pitch tonight: Bailey, Norris, or M. Gonzalez? As always, thanks!!
RB,
To be honest, I would’ve said Bailey. And this did not go so well.
