I'm trying to get some info on Strasburg Topic

I just drafted him on one of my teams to test him out. I was just wondering if anyone has used him and how they used him. Is he better used in bullpen as a setup guy or closer? What is the top pitch count he can get in one game if I spot start him? Thanks in advance for any info.

his top PC for starting is 16.5 *ip/g (or close enough to that)

Thanks for the info.

I dont think he's good enough to be a closer in this game. You could spot start him with a lot of rest between starts, or use him in some other bullpen role.

right after the 2010 players came out, I fielded a team comprised entirely of this past season's iterations. Strasburg was one of the players I was eager to use, and have him primarily at set up B, with perhaps 33% ofhis time logged in as set up A. he has not started for me. I didn't want to burn his limited pitch allocation. through 141 games playing Dodger Stadium as my home, here is what I'm getting:

58 GP, 7-1 record, 2 saves, 60 IP with a 3.90 ERA, .259 OAV, 1.45 WHIP, 10.80 k/9 and a whopping 4.20 bb/9. He has given up 6 homers, all on the road. The league ERA is 4.60, league OAV is .281 and league whip is 1.48.

His road numbers, outside of SLG, are better on the road than at home, which is not what I was expecting

redwingscup - if you are interested I have a team called "2010 Test Team" - using some of the same players - posey, gardner, cain, lee, wilson and ramirez.  Similar performances.  Your Lee is doing better than mine, Ramirez has been pretty darn solid.  Cain mediocre...I did see a guy who was using 2010 Wainright in a pitchers park -2/-2 and he was something like 17-4 2.30.

thanks cbatlz, am interested and will check out your team... Ramirez is very good. I have been most surprised by King Felix, who is doing very well for me (so well that I fired his 2010 version up in another league I'm in).
