Need Help Quick!

by NastyNessy71 on Apr 10, 2011 7:16 PM EDT

Hello all, I am currently winning in my fantasy baseball week 460 to 442.

I have Josh Beckett going tonght while he has CC Sabathia and Russel Martin. You get .5 points per inning pitched, 1 point per K, -1 per hit, -1 per walk -1 per ER +10 for a Win and a -5 for a Loss. My question to everyone is should I start Beckett and risk having him lose and get me negative points or should I ride it out, let him pitch and just hope he stays in the positive numbers and helps me to a win. It is in Boston with the series 1-1 so I don't think Beckett is going to throw a dud. What do you guys suggest I do??

I’d go the safe route and sit beckett just because hes just too inconsistent.

I agree

In fact I was up but 28 until Chris Young just hit a bomb for him. The only thing is if this game goes 0-0 or 1-1 to like the 7th inning or evenr 2-1 in favor or New York, I am screwed where as even if Beckett got the loss he’d prob still be at a positive 5-10 points so it’s a really tough call.. thanks for your help

Well i played him

And he got me 31 points hahaha… so I won and scored the most points in my league =) Thanks for the advice guys… I would have won if I sat him too tho. I’m just glad Beckett might be back to ace form b/c i got him off waivers this week. If I could ad dhim to my young corps of Yovani Gallardo, Matt Cain, Chacin, as well as my older Chris Carpenter I really like my pitchingh for a team that I built based off of power and hitting ie. Tulo, Cargo, Ryan Howard, Jason Heyward, Mike Stanton, Pedro ALvarez etc.
