Should I drop Pedro Martinez or Bronson Arroyo?

Question

I have both on my team right now, and since Pedro is now off the DL, I have to drop someone else on my roster. My worst pitcher is Bronson Arroyo, so should I get rid of him, or just forget about Pedro and drop him?

Answer 1

pedro has had a great career and he'll do well even if he spent a long time on the DL. bronson arroyo is very capable of killing your ERA and WHIP for a week with a bad outing, so drop arroyo and keep pedro, who has career stats to back him up.

Answer 2

Arroyo is wicked inconsistent and will have great games, no doubt, but will kill you when he has games when he doesn't get Quality Starts and gets shelled giving up 5+ runs. Pedro is the way to go and will get better. He will have better starts.
