Who should I pick up Johnathan Sanchez or Derek Lowe?

Question

I just dropped Ian Snell and not sure who I should pick up. Sanchez has good strikeout numbers and his overall stats are good, but Derek Lowe has a good track record and has been hot of late. (Brought his ERA from 5.34 to 3.88 in just over a month.)

My SP-

Halladay

Volquez

Harden

J. Vazquez

Billingsley

Chamberlain

Maine

Answer 1

I have Sanchez all around my leagues. His Ks are good and the rest of the numbers are acceptable plus he has been winning recently.

But do you really need another SP? If this is a roto league, you probably have an innings maximum to consider. IF H2H, then I would do Sanchez.

Good luck. Have fun.

Answer 2

Well, it looks like you have a ton of starting pitchers already, but if you simply must pick up another one, I think Sanchez is the better option simply because his strikeouts are better.  Plus the Giants aren't quite as bad as the Dodgers, so his chances of actually getting wins are better.

Answer 3

Sanchez is your man.  I own him.  He won NL Player of the Week last week for his two wins.  He has much better stuff than Lowe at this point.  He has eight quality starts in his last nine.  Although he plays with a really bad offense, he gets plenty of Ks to make up for his win-loss numbers.  He is your man hands down.

Answer 4

Sanchez.
