I'd drop Lilly and Gomes for a couple of RP. A guy like Broxton might be available on the WW. Look for other guys that are second in line for saves. There's better options that Lilly out there, and I don't think Gomes will be very productive.

well the max I can have per week is 2 relievers and I doubt I can get anyone better than fuentes...or are u stating to get 1 more for bench

[Jakra]

Didn't know there was a limit on relievers. I still think there are better options out there than Gomes. Just looking at my WW, I saw J Rivera and C Granderson available, not sure if they are in your league.

You could use some more closers. What about Joel Pineiro, Octavio Dotel, Salomon Torres, or Kevin Gregg.

[mikedean441]

in the head to head league, there are 5 starting pitcher spots, 1 closer spot and one flex spot which can be closer or starter

so at most I can have 2 closers per week

so is there really a need for another closer since I have 2

odds are since saves are only 1 catagory I will use 1 closer and 6 starters

You should have 3 closers if it lets your league lets you. You can also rotate that one closer out if you need to start every pitcher (thats what I did last year). You don't need to pick someone up now but keep an eye on the FLA closer sitsuation. You may be able to "steal" their closer without anyone knowing.

any thoughts on my hitting?

[Denmarch]

I think your offense is very strong: top-5 at catcher, shortstop, third base, and (according to some people) second base, and TWO top-5 outfielders in Beltran and Vlad. I'm not a big fan of Patterson, and I would play Adrian Gonzalez over Burrell at the Utility spot.

[mikedean441]

yeah, when the top 1B went off the board, I waited for awhile, then it cost me guys like sexson, laroche, etc

so I picked gonalez then in glancing saw overby's numbers last year and grabbed him too, so figured use him at 1b and see what works at UTIL between gonzalez and burell

as far as patterson, how about in the 3rd round was 2 picks away from getting carlos lee too

im not a patterson fan, but will help me with steal in conjunction with roberts (hopefully)
