Pierre, Oswalt

#1 Post by alleyoops »

5x5 14-team mixed. My team projects low in SB. I have Bartlett on my bench. Thinking of bidding for Pierre. MB projects Pierre for only 152 AB, but based on his usage so far, he might get 3 or 4 times that. Figure that makes him potentially more valuable than Bartlett. Agree?

Secondarily, Oswalt's available under our rules. Could drop Bartlett for him, or if I get Pierre, or drop Dickey or HBailey. Worth a bid? If so, which P would you drop for him?

I think Pierre's projected at bats were before we knew he would play against virtually all RHP so more Absolutely (not sure it will be three or four times Bartlett but he can't steal first either) So, YES I would play him over Bartlett by far (positionality aside)

Tough because either pitcher could have more value in the time b4 Oswalt pitches (if at all) But the hot rumor is that the Red Sox are back in touch with him about joining the club so assuming it is for a bench spot, yes I would add and on results this year so far, I would drop Dickey IF you don't get Pierre.
