In a keeper league, that trade is pretty good. Not sure if you bought low, but in the long run, you obviously benefit.
As for the starters to start - if you had to go with one, Barry Zito. Never thought I\'d say that.
Need to start 1 of these 3. The two teams I\'m facing have 11 and 10 starts. If I start zito I will have 9.
Shane Loux ANA @ OAK Dallas Braden (05/10)
vs. KC
Kyle Davies
Josh Geer SD vs. COL Aaron Cook (05/10)
@ HOU
Roy Oswalt
or zito @ LA
other crappy 2 start options are
carreia,Eaton, moehler and JEFF Weaver.
I could go a 2nd closer instead but...wuerth? Hawkins or Aardsma...
p.s. if anyone cares to comment on a trade I just made, feel free. I trade Downs and Manny for Hamilton. buy low...but he\'s probably 7th on my keeper list and manny was more like 11-12

Zito faces billingsley is the only reason i thought of sitting him. I could use the extra start from Geer...its borderline decision for me.
Hamilton has started slow. (the guy offered it to me and I rushed as fast as I could to accept)

yeah I am not sold on Zito. I would go with Geer. Geer started 2 games against colorado last year and had some success: 1-1, 10 IP, 3ER, 10Ks, 2.70 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, .256 Opp BA... the WHIPs a little high but decent number\'s other than that. It helps that the game is not in Colorado too. Houston\'s bats have been struggling so I would take the gamble of starting him against them if you want that extra start.
