I'm gonna ask this again... Feel free to advise... Fantasy baseball... Should I drop Hellickson for a streaming SP spot that I need.

 

Maddon let him throw 7.1 innings tonight and he gave up 7 runs.

Mr. Vance Worley, ladies and gentlemen - it ain't pretty but somehow it works.

 

And he'd best not come out for the seventh. Done well enough.

There are many variables here, but it depends on how many good pitchers are available on the waiver wire. It's not like Hellickson is tearing it up, so I'm pretty sure you can find suitable replacements on the waiver wire on a week-to-week basis. If you have ten or fewer teams, I don't see why not.

The way this game started I thought I'd be switching to American Pickers by the 5th or 6th. Worley didn't look sharp and Buchholz did. I only hope Duensing can keep from making this worse. Need a K here.

12 teams... But you have Saves, Holds and IP categories and you must carry 15 pitchers exactly.

 

It works best to carry 6 SP and stream a 7th to go after the IP... Leaving a combination of closers and set up guys for the holds and saves.

 

Hellickson is #7 on my depth chart... I just think its risky to drop him with his past performance.

Would have been a DP had Florimon come up with it. Dare I say he should have?

 

Yeah... It's plays like those that don't count as errors but are defensive examples of what winning teams do.

 

Its a play that could have saved a run or led to a big inning for the Sox. That's the stuff baseball is made of.

Give me an idea of who you might have available to pick up.

Does Buchholtz run crisco through his hair?

 

It worked for Sidney Ponson.

 

 

It also had the side benefit of providing sustenance between innings should he become famished.

I burp-laughed. I did.

It would be a daily shopping trip to the waiver wire to rotate through guys to build up IP. I could grab someone like Feldman and then drop him and get someone else to throw Sunday like Diamond.
