Which SP(s) should I drop at this point?

Question

I only have 20 more allowed starts left this season in my roto league. My pitchers are:

Harden

Liriano

Kazmir

Beckett

Volquez

Mussina

At this point Ws are very important to me so I want to keep the players most likely to bring those in. My goal is to cut one or two of these guys and add RPs to keep racking up Ks and hopefully pick up a Save or two. Who should I keep? Who should I cut? The trade deadline has passed so dealing them is not an option.

Answer 1

That is quite the rotation. You should be aware that whomever you drop will most likely be picked up by somebody else as they are all great options. Just because we are nearing the end of a long season I would not place too much confidence in Mussina. Maybe Volquez is also droppable as his team has nothing to play for, but you never know how Beckett will come back, and who knows if Liriano will produce.

Good luck, that is a toughy.

Answer 2

i would probably drop volquez and mussina...the reds are not in the running, so they might shut down volquez early, and if the Yanks don't get back in this race Mussina might be skipping a start of two.

Answer 3

Drop liriano, he's on and off right now. Keep harden and volquez, their on a roll now. Mussina and beckett id try to keep them too. But definantly keep harden and volquez. Kazmir is a toss up. Now, if you had to drop 2, drop liriano and mussina, because the yankees are not gonna make the playoffs. i hope this helps.

Answer 4

Beckett, maybe Kazmir.
