Who would you pick up with Lackey on the DL (1 Viewer)

With Lackey going down for April, I need to pick up one of these guys: J.A. Happ, Chan Ho Park, John Lannan, Andy Sonnanstine, Brad Penny, Clay Buchholz or Kevin Millwood?? The choices aren't pretty, but I need a 5th starter. I'm leaning towards Sonnanstine, but not sure.

Sonnanstine doesn't belong on that list. I'd grab him for sure.

absolutely. He is at least 100 spots ahead of the althernatives

Go, HURRY!

 

[Dudley Do-Right]

Sonnanstine is a no-brainer.

I forgot to mention Jesse Litsch as well. Even with Litsch on this list, I'll still be picking up AS. Thanks guys.

Litsch is far ahead of the others imo, but AS is much the best overall

From that list, Sonnanstine...but Millwood is a decent pick early in the season, just dump him before the end of May.

Lannan has decent value, especially in a points league.

Yes, he's on a quite crappy team. However, he's the #1 starter and should clear 200 IP and get a double digit win total.

Even in 5x5 roto he's not atrocious. He's in a good pitcher's park, and will also visit Atlanta and Miami several times, both of which are also pitcher's park.

For a #5 guy, he's not bad at all.

I would pick either Penny or Buchholz depending on who gets the Red Sox 5th starter job. Both have had good springs - Penny has his velocity up to the 95 range and Buchholz has been lights out.
