Would you rather have Justin Verlander or Josh Johnson on your fantasy baseball team?

Question

I have Josh Johnson(Marlins) on my team and I am wondering if I should trade him for Justin Verlander(Tigers). Would this be a good trade for me? Why or why not?

Answer 1

I like Johnson here because he's been more consistent than Verlander. Johnson has allowed 3 or fewer runs in 7 of 8 starts since coming off the DL, plus the Marlins are in the middle of a playoff run. Verlander has been very inconsistent all year although he's looked pretty d**n good his last 2 starts.

Answer 2

Heck no, that would not be a good trade at this point of the year. Johnson will provide more for you than Verlander over the remainder of the year.

Answer might be closer if this is a keeper league though.

Good luck.

Answer 3

I would rather have Verlander because Johnson is an injury risk and Verlander is still the pitcher that threw a no-hitter n the guy who went 18-6 with a 3.66 ERA
