Every low price "match up" pitcher that goes 17-7 for you and gets shelled when I use them in the same situation.

Likes:

Abreu
Glaus
O. Hudson
Lidge
Vazquez (Gotta be in a pitching park though)
Jose Hernandez (vs. LH's obviously)
Byrnes (vs. LH's too)
Freddie Garcia (Usually good for 15 wins)
Rowand (good for 40+ doubles)
Pierre (dh only)

Dislikes:
Brian Giles (only use him if all other lefty bats are gone)
Westbrook (used him 2X, both in Wrigley. He sucked for me)
Mulder (like Giles, only when a LH is needed that is a *SP)

My hate list has some of other most loved list, but they have just never worked out for me:

Hate:
casey/wilkerson - yes, there's some power, but the OBP is always far under what it should be for the card and price, my bad luck I guess
madson - a good card that always tanks for me, had to stop using him


Love:
Maus - he combined with ojeda on a coors team for 63 HRs and 161 RBIs and batted .334, he's been awesome on every team I've had him on even with the injuries
Huff - solid as a rock at a good price
tomas perez - low BA but sound Def and is a doubles maniac with some HR pop for low cost
freel - cant beat the OBP and versatility for the price
beltre - only had him once, but I'll take the salary that gives me 51 HRs, 139 ribbis, and a .304 BA
gagne - worked for me (15-6, 36 saves, 1.21 WHIP)

Hate to love
Edmonds - can be hot or cold: hot (58 HRs, 180 RBIs, .349 BA, .457 OBP) or cold (29 HRs, 71 RBIs, .249 BA. .352 OBP)

I agree with JERLINS on Chris Gomez, love having him. Quite often he's my DH against lefties, and although is range sucks he doesn't make errors at 3b or 2b. Lawton is a great value if he can DH

[MICHAELTARBELL]

The only one i have ever seen Rowand do well for Vis is you and the Hawg man!! :P

[Jerlins]

Lots of folks mention Huff. I've had him on a couple of lefty slanted ballparks and has been a huge disappointment. I love him though for the sole reason that I still put him on my draft list and normally don't get him which allows me to move up the waiver list.

Geez, and here I was thinking I was the only one this happens to consistantly.
