Default Which pitcher would you keep?

Standard 5x5 roto scoring... which pitcher would you protect from the list below (just one)?

Chris Carpenter
Joba Chamberlain
Felix Hernandez
Brad Lidge
Francisco Rodriguez
Brandon Webb
Carlos Zambrano


[Note: Somehow listed Francisco Cordero on my roster instead of Francisco Rodriguez]

Based on consistency, Webb for sure...but Joba is turning into an absolute stud right in front of our eyes!

I\'ve been protecting Felix since his rookie year, and am still under the belief that he will develop into the game\'s best pitcher. I know Webb is definitely the \"safe\" choice because he\'s proven and ridiculously consistent... and Joba is turning out to be a gem almost immediately... but am I being delusional about Felix?

He\'s still only 22 (younger than Joba).

I\'d have to honestly say I\'d protect Felix. I am a sucker for the excitement of a younger unknown upside.

I think the K\'s he can bring will make him superior in a short time.

I would look at season\'s end at the last 12-15 starts for all 3 guys and make my choice based on that. I think Felix as well could still be an absolute gem, but I also think he would be the easiest to re-draft.

I\'d go with Webb

Felix and Joba could end up better but are bigger injury risks. I agree that Felix is probably the easiest to redraft so the safe choice is Webb but if you feel like gambling Joba would be my second choice.

I think you have to go with Webb there... he is a bone fide top of the fantasy rotation starter. Only Santana and Peavy above him in my mind.

Heads is Felix, Tails is Webb. That\'s the only way to decide this for me.
