I'm in 14 team 5x5 H2H league. I drafted hitting early and am pretty strong. Both weeks I won 4 of 5 hitting cats. Last year I won first by punting saves and going with all starters and drafted the same this year. My P staff is F Hernandez, C Schilling, B Webb, K Escobar, D Davis, M Cain and CC Sabathia. We start 5 each week and that gives me the flexibility to play matchups and get 2 start P's. I figure all I have to do is get W's and K's and then try to steal a ERA or WHIP cat if I can. With the old Schilling back, better games ahead for Felix, and Webb pitching well, I was wondering if I should maybe pick up a couple low era/whip guys and try to win those cat's and then hope to win W's and K's. The two guys I was contemplating were S Shields and M Gonzalez. Gonzalez could help me tie in SV's but I would not count on winning that cat as most usually start two closers or their closers are better then Gonzalez (why he is on waivers). I would then probably start Felix and Schilling each week and then play matchup between Escobar, Webb and Davis. So I would probably drop Cain and CC (or keep CC and drop someone else). Or would it be a good idea to just pick up one of those guys to help me. Like most teams right now, a few pitchers are really blowing up my era and whip and basically negating the good games Schilling and Webb have been giving me.
