Stults or Pettibone

[roadtrip68]

Which do you think will last longer and produce in the bigs this year? I like them both but am looking at having to drop one in one of my NL only 5x5 leagues.

Pettibone has pitched better but also faced lots of weak offenses (SF, Mia, NYM, Pit, Wash; Cle and Cincy the only formidable opponents). Stults is one of those low-upside yet steady options who will give you pretty good ratios and maybe 10-12 wins. It's pretty close, so let's go to the upcoming schedules:

Pettibone - vs. Bos, vs. Mia, @ Mil, @ Col, vs. NYM
Stults - vs. Sea, @ LAD, @ Col, vs. Ari, @ SF

Well, that didn't help much. They've both got scary match-ups in Colorado along with one elite offense (Boston, Arizona) to go along with the weaker opponents. For me, I'd go with the youngster and hope he can continue fooling hitters his first time through the league then maybe deal him for a surer thing come July.

I'd roll the dice with Stults.
