Good SP move or not: drop K.Benson, pick up either J.Marquis or N.Robertson?

Question

I'm in sore need of wins on my team. I'm tired of Benson's unpredictability. Should I drop him to waivers and pick up Marquis or Robertson? They're both having good seasons for good teams.

Answer 1

I dont think much would change. After all, all three really are average pitchers. The only difference, is if you get Marquis or Robertson, your chance for a win increases. This is only because they play on the Cards and Tigers, which are much more gifted than the Orioles.

Best to take Robertson.
(a) because he doesnt have an insanely high ERA like Marquis does (b) doesnt walk as many as Marquis does. Walks always will catch up to a pitcher sooner or later.

Answer 2

Ay, man i feel your pain .. i droped him for sele .. i didnt drop him for the lack of wins though .. i droped him for the high ERA ...
i say u pick up Robertson .. the Tigers will be hot in the second have of the year and will have more K's and a less ERA than Marquis .. I'd stay away from Marquis he's pretty unreliable too .. and i dont think the cards will have that strong of a second half .. Definetly not like the tigers will have
Get Robertson!! .. I wish he was still a free agant in my league

Answer 3

As far as Marquis, the fact that he's tied with Tom Glavine, Kenny Rogers, and Roy Halladay for the major league lead in wins is a farce. The right-hander is getting 6.21 runs from his offense per game. He's better than those.
As far as Robertson his ERA is better and all but last year shows 12 wins. I'm not sure.
Benson is a solid option in any league when the matchups are right. He has been a streaky pitcher in his career, so ride him during his hot streaks. Right now, he's not hot.
I'de go with Marquis.

Answer 4

i did the same thing i droped benson for marquis so pick him.
