Adam Wainwright = STEAL (1 Viewer)

[eoMMan]

This guy is good and will finish at least top 20 pitchers of the year, probably top 15. Also, he is eligible for SP and RP in several different leagues.

The only real knocks on him are his minor league career (never really dominant, but who cares?) and how they might put him in the pen if Jason Isringhausen gets hurt, but being that Carpenter is banged up, I don't see how they will move a quality starter to the pen.

Trade for Wainwright before it's too late.....

Get the K/BB ratio off of 1/1 and we'll start talking

 

[posty]

Beating up on Houston and Pittsburgh aren't necessarily the top teams in the league...

In 2006, he had 72 K's last year and had 22 base on balls and 4 hit by pitch.Are you looking at his games THIS year?

Have him in UBER. On board.

The non eomman posts in this thread are horrible. (I was typing this before the last post- seems like a neutral post)

I was just coming in here to say that.I'm picking him up anyway, just because historically, his K/BB is very good, but it does make me worry, even with a small sample size.

Plus, when pitching relief he was probably only throwing 2 pitches. You'll get killed doing that as a starting pitcher when you have to see everyone more than once.He better be getting something else over the plate for strikes.

Badger said no. It was a solid offer though.We're thinking we should give our crappy 1B situation a little time considering we're in 1st place...

 

[weisguy0831]

i'm not going to criticize your league, but he went for $19 in my league on draft day. not a steal.

6.2IP 2ER 7H 4BB 4K ND with a hit batsman today against the vaunted Pirates.

While the ERA is nice, no way it keeps up if he's going to allow that many baserunners.

 

[pigskin pimp]

I targeted Wainwright in my auction, but he got too much love from others and his $ value went too high for me.

The WS must have fresh in the minds of the other guys.

Can we criticize your league for having someone who paid 19 dollars for him?

Yes. Unless its a 12 man NL-Central only league.

He is. He has thrown in a good changeup now.I drafted him in my eight man league with my last pick. His given me a nice couple of starts as my 6th starting pitcher.

Sure. My point was, I hate when posts deteriorate into name-calling and the 'what kind of league are you in? 4 teams?' kind of comments. Was $19 too much? 10 teams. NL-only. Keeper league. Maybe a couple of dollars too much, but its not like he should have gone for $5.

Looking like more of the same today.

6 IP

3 BB

4 K

Walking too many guys

 

[The Ref]

Looking like more of the same today.6 IP3 BB4 KWalking too many guys

8 hits 3 walks 2.0 WHIP. Not the best of outings, but I still think this guy has some real value. He may walk some guys, but in 5X5 format the K's are going to be valuable. Plus he should pile up some wins in St Louis.

I agree and I still think he'll do better. That whole team is in a funk. Look at how bad their main hitters are hitting (Pujols, Rolen, etc.). It's like the whole team needs a kick in the ###.Wainwright and company will come around.....eventually.

At least the Cards got their Sunday double digit run support, though.

:X Wind blowing out down?Each club used 6 pitchers to get through that mess.The Cards get to leave town, while Piniella gets to figure out how to fit more bullpen on his roster.Welcome to Chicago Lou.

Get the K/BB ratio off of 1/1, and his ERA under 6.00. Then we'll start talking

Don't give up just yet. Sit him, but DON'T drop him. He'll straighten out.

Not sure it's going to be this year. I'm not rooting against the guy by any means. I just think he's a year, and a pitch, away.

 

[Kiddnets]

he's on my bench until further notice!

 

[Domination]

I never would have expected Looper to out perform him.

I'm out. Dropped him last week in my 8-man league. For some reason Dan Haren was still available. In a deeper league, I probably would have hung on, but no need with Halladay, Zambrano, Harang & now Haren on my squad.

 

[Jayrod]

What the heck has happened to this kid?

He was great for his first few starts and he has just fallen apart. Gave up 8 runs in 2.2 innings yesterday. Forget fantasy, I just would like to see him pull his head out for the sake of his career. The Cardinals were looking for him to become a #2 and now he is getting close to losing his starting gig and returning to the pen.

 

[eoMMan]

I was wrong and I guess I put the jinx on him by calling him a steal.

I'm out.
