Should I add Carmona and drop Marcum

Question

Somone in my league recently dropped Fausto Carmona. Should I drop Shaun Marcum and add Fausto Carmona? Here is my pitching

SP: Aaron Harang, Chris Young, Roy Oswalt, Branden Webb, Edinson Volquez, Fransico Liriano, Chris Carpenter, Shaun Marcum

RB: JJ Putz, Jonathan Broxton, Fransico Cordero.

Answer 1

Carmona wont get the stats you need.Look at his numbers from last year when he was healthy.He is a wins era whip pitcher.He isnt much of a K guy.With hinm hurting his ERA and WHIP are in danger of being through the roof.You have a pretty solid lineup and I wouldnt take the chance.He looks terrible so far.

Answer 2

fausto carmona had a decent outing last time but he still plays for the indians. although this is true, marcum has even been worse lately. he hasn't had a quality start since june, and he's allowed a lot of runs. i would take fausto. he's come back from his injury.

Answer 3

Marcum has struggled of late coming off of his injury. I'm a Jays fan and he will recover in 1 or 2 more starts. He was one of the best I've seen in the first half. Don't let his W-L fool u. This guy has Cy Young talent. I wouldn't take Fausto because in September Clevelan will be starting a younger lineup and will lead to more losses and maybe less starts because of the rookies starting on the mound. I'd keep Marcum if I were u. Marcum could easily be like 10-6 right now. No jokes.
