Trevor Cahill for Wandy Rodriguez? Good Idea or Bad
Wandy is in the FA pool in our league, should I swap Trevor Cahill for him?

I do love Cahill's extreme groundball tendencies. Though I think in terms of pure stuff, Wandy is more trustworthy to this point, Cahill really helps himself keeping the ball down. I do think Wandy has been a bit lucky to this point, to a small degree. He's got a very unsustainable strand rate, which is helping the ERA. My guess is he's due for a bit more of a rough patch in the weeks ahead. So my opinion: I still probably favor Wandy, but if it's a league where there are keepers, stick with Cahill.

Re: Trevor Cahill for Wandy Rodriguez? Good Idea or Bad
Thanks Brutus, kinda my thoughts on the issue. Plus Wandy is a second half pitcher.
Massaged the roster a bit, and got Wandy in at the expense of carrying an extra outfielder, but it has left my bench thin. Current Pitching staff. Grienke Sabathia Cahill Wandy Pineda Liriano Price Bard Crow Soria Nunez Farnsworth
