waiver wire pickups (pitchers)

EmpireMaker · 05-17-12, 11:33 PM

Zambrano is the one here

dudekid · 05-17-12, 11:40 PM

cant believe he is still available in your league, i actually drafted big Z in mine and he has paid off quite nicely, i would roll with him

ericthegangster · 05-18-12, 12:20 AM

How about verlander? He plays for the tigers.

Grits n' Gravy · 05-18-12, 06:09 AM

Zito may be worth a shot. He has been ok so far. Only troubling number is k/bb ratio.

Jericholic · 05-18-12, 09:16 AM

Zambrano has bounced back nicely this year.

infamousbacardi · 05-18-12, 09:27 AM

Guillen has ceasar milaned Big z into form this year. Has to be the guy anyone should consider if available

Robber · 05-18-12, 02:24 PM

Gotta be Zambrano of those choices I think. .

Don't take Blanton. Could see Boston teeing off on him.

secretstash · 05-19-12, 05:54 AM

surprised Drew Smyly isnt more active on rosters.

EmpireMaker · 05-19-12, 07:22 AM

Smyly is having a good year he could be worth picking up

yisman · 05-20-12, 01:02 AM

Consider the opposition. NL West pitchers like Zito or Vogelsong are a good bet.

Grits n' Gravy · 05-20-12, 09:25 AM

Derek Lowe is going hot right now.

yisman · 05-20-12, 11:31 PM

to me, Derek Lowe is a mirage, like Kevin Millwood's two hitter. It can't last.
