Which pitcher should I drop when Chris Carpenter comes off the DL?

Question

SP Paul Maholm

SP Tim Hudson

SP James Shields

SP Josh Johnson

SP Scott Baker

SP Cliff Lee

SP Chris Carpenter

SP Chris Volstad

RP C.J. Wilson

P Salomón Torres

P José Valverde

P Fernando Rodney

I think it should be between Volstad and Maholm, but they're both pitching well. Your thoughts?

Answer 1

I'd drop Johnson. He's inconsistent unproven, besides one year, here in the MLB. I'd also consider dropping Rodney. He isn't a good closer and you have two other great closers. Volstad has shown some consistency and might actually be that good this season.

I'd also consider putting Hudson on the DL and not dropping anyone to get Carpenter. If you can do this, then I recommend it. You don't have to drop anyone.

Answer 2

I'd probably drop Josh Johnson.   Maholm is doing well and the Pirates ace right now, Volstad has upside but would be my second choice of dropping.  I don't think Rodney will last as the closer...he is to inconstant, so he is my third choice.  Can't drop anyone else.

Answer 3

I agree with the guy above me, drop Josh Johnson.....or Rodney

Answer 4

SP Paul Maholm

the Bucs are horrible.
