He will get some solid strikeout numbers and on a good Cardinal team, should be able to come close to winning 20 games again. Kile, along with Maddux and Leiter, should be the start of a very solid starting rotation. I felt that if I didn't take Lieberthal at this point I would have to wait much later and hope to get a pair of cheaper catchers that might surprise.
Surprises can go both ways in fantasy sports.
Lieberthal had a fine first half but was hurt in the second half and shut down in September. He could also hit near .300. If all things are equal he should out-produce Lopez and Posada and cost a little less. Chicago AL Gonos - The relievers seem to be going quicker than the starters at this point. In Wells, I'm getting one of the only fantasy players in sports that actually looks like most fantasy owners.
