Lohse or Lincoln?

12-team NL-only keeper league

Lohse has been great for me pretty much all year, but ran into trouble in July and is off to a rough start today after stringing together a couple good starts.

Lincoln is currently on my minors and can be claimed by another team at any moment unless I activate him. He's a questionable keeper at $5 while Lohse is most likely not going to be kept at $10.

Basically, who do you like more for the rest of the year? Wins and WHIP are the major concerns since I have a good cushion in K's and ERA. Thanks!

Lohse.
He was WAY over his head at one point, but he's still serviceable and the Cardinals are decent.

I trust the Cards more than I trust the Pirates at this point. That said, Lincoln did well against a tough Brewers team. He's a pretty solid pitcher but a little too prone to the long ball. If you need wins, I think you've got to go with the guy not on the Pirates.

Damn you both! Someone claimed Lincoln off my team on Friday and then he goes out and throws a gem a day before Lohse craps the bed again (well, so far at least). I can't quit you Kyle Lohse!

Patience, grasshopper!

Funny, because I was advising over-eager Lohse owners to sell at midseason if possible because he couldn't sustain his numbers and didn't).

But everyone (ok, not Tomko or Estes) has a price point where they're worth owning.
