The other Kostitsyn, Sergei has been riding shotgun with Patrick Kane and Sam Gagne with the London Knights.... last year he had 78 points as an OHL rookie and in 59 games this year has 40g-91a-131 pts

My question is this, are his point totals just stacked because of his linemates or is he a really good prospect? How far away is he from NHL action? He\'s not in Dobber\'s top prospect list (if I\'m not mistaken).

Sergei is definitely a good player, but you\'d be right in assuming he\'s gotten a boost from his linemates. He\'s not a total mooch, though, and he\'ll be a fine complimentary 2nd liner at the next level.

my pitchers are weak. W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP - 14-team deep non-keeper h2h

Are any of these clearly better than the rest?

Addison Reed
Bruce Chen
Jesse Crain
Danny Duffy
Kerry Wood
Lance Lynn
Wade Davis
Jordan Lyles
Fernando Salas
Alfredo Aceves
Jake Peavy
Freddy Garcia
Chris Capuano
Jeremy Guthrie

thanks!

may even have to grab 2

who are you dropping?

i like lance lynn to start the season. looks like carp will miss the start of the year, and lynn will have a chance at earning a rotation spot.

aceves looks like he has earned the #4 spot. he is another interesting pick-up option.

really depends on who you plan to get rid of.

I like Danny Duffy as a post hype sleeper.

I'll prob drop Revere and Fowler. Have more pitchers to stream weekly will help imo.

Duffy is def someone I've had my eye on.

Welcome to the boards!

I'd drop Fowler and Revere for Duffy and Lynn.

don't drop a hitter. w/o holds in your league, krod and cordero are useless. drop them first. also, morse looks to be going on the d.l. at season's start, so you'll gain another open spot when that happens.

KRod and Cordero don't have much value with no holds.
Oswalt is junk, he won't pitch for months.
I would take Addison Reed over those 2 RP.
He could get some saves.

Reed is a much better long term hold than your middles right now. I'd take Guthrie for his opening day start at least, and Peavy for a spot start here and there. Duffy & Aceves are also acceptable adds for the 5 drops mentioned here already
