Re: Who has the best EOG team?
Tripp you are sane, you really dont think Lilly can put up at worst the same numbers he did last two years?
i think lilly is a guy that can pitch very well or he can get absolutely hammered. weather is very important with him @ wrigley so i think he's worth less in weekly starting leagues. just like chipper is for your team.
when the wind is blowing in like it was vs colorado lilly is fantastic. he gave up 1 hit in that start. when the wind is blowing out he will have starts where he gives up 4 or 5 hr's.
kershaw to me just has tons more upside because he can be a k machine which is huge in this league and plays on arguably the best team of his division so he can get a lot of wins vs the shitty teams like sf, sd and colorado. i'd rather my guy going up against arizona and sf regularly than having him go against st louis and milwaukee.
lilly is not bad though, just not flashy and unpredictable at times. you won't get much for a guy like him in this league, best to just hold onto him. people in this league, including myself for the most part, look for huge upside guys. i don't see lilly as that. he will get you consistent results, but there just isn't that hope of him being a star that fantasy owners love.
