    Oops. I'm not as high as most on Lackey, I'm not sure, I might go Sheets or Street.

    sheets' injury potential scares me off, but he's got halladay-like potential numbers-wise, so if you're a risk taker, go for it. his K-BB ratio is insane, about 10-1, though he's never topped 12 wins. he easily does that this year. other guys who are going a bit later but could be absolute steals: jered weaver (ridiculous 2.56 ERA last year, K-BB ratio almost 4-1; has to cut down on HR's, and will); kazmir (almost 10K per game); matt cain, who some are overlooking thanks to zito's arrival (which is saying a lot 'cause zito's a legit cy young candidate); and -- yes -- pettitte (monster run support).

    I just don't see the gap between Lackey and Sheets as being wide enough to justify taking the risk on Sheets staying healthy, which just hasn't happened.

    I'd definitely would go after Lackey, but what about Peavy vs. Sheets? Peavy's had an awful spring so far, but he has to rebound from last year, which aside from the losses and ERA, was pretty damn good. In a perfect world and neither guy gets hurt, who's the better pick?

    Peavy. Both guys are injury risks, but Peavy is better when healthy. He wasn't healthy most of last year and it showed in his performance. He did pitch well the last month or so, which was encouraging.

    Don't worry too much about a couple of bad outings in the spring. Supposedly, Peavy is going through a dead-arm phase right now, which is not unusual and definitely best gotten out of the way in March.
