Dynasty League Question

[sneakypower]

entire roster gets kept, 5x5 + losses

 

basically, for the next 4 years, would you rather have Slowey or Buchholz?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I'd say Slowey, but I think it might depend on the rest of your staff. If you have more young/potential arms, then Slowey; if you have more experience/production, then maybe Buchholz.

I'd rather have Buchholz. Hes got more blocking him to get to the rotation, but he has the higher ceiling and this is a dynasty league so future production matters a lot. Slowey will obviously give you better production now, and very good production down the road, but I think the clincher is the fact that Buchholz pitches for a much better team.

i might drop Cliff Lee outright and roster both.

 

not an overreaction to yesterday's disaster, but there's little upside to him aside from W-L, the most unpredictable attribute of all

Well Lee has value, so I wouldn't out and out drop him. Trade him away to a team that needs pitching. Heck, you can even wait a while until its after a good start...Buchholz isn't getting called up anytime soon (assuming Penny's shoulder doesn't fall off) so if no one has pounced on him by now then they probably won't for a while. If both are available and you're asking who to chose now, chose Slowey, you can sit on Buchholz. But also if you're asking who to chose now and Slowey is a FA then you're either in way too shallow of a league or your league-mates are idiots.
