It's a messed up league I play in. It's a customized h-to-h POINTS league like the old Sandbox system (For pitchers: 1 pt out, 1 pt K, 10 pts W/S, -1 H/BB, -1 R, -5 BS/L, etc. etc.). We can start 6 SPs each game (Mon-Thur & Fri-Sun), 6 RPs, or any combination thereof. So these guys are nothing but spot starters who I use with favorable matchups. At the top of my lineup (in a 10-team league), I have Pedro, Moose, Vazquez, Brown, Peavy, Lohse, Radke, Ramon Ortiz, and Orlando Hernandez (when he gets back). But Foppert, Ainsworth, and Ohka are currently my bottom feeders. I'm not crazy about any of them. But with starting 6 SPs every series (because I missed out on the good closers & would rather spot start SPs, than try and predict when a below average closer will get a save opp), I do have to start these guys on occasion. But one of them has to go. I'm leaning towards Ohka right now. I don't like what I'm seeing from Foppert and Ainsworth. But there's so much potential with those two, which doesn't exist with Ohka, I don't think. Disagreement?
