Can this team mount a charge??? - WHIR

[hookem2003]

12 Team, Yahoo, Typical 5x5, Roto
c-Martin 1b-Konerko 2b-Upton SS-B Hall
3b-A Rod OF- Sizemore, Holliday, Rios Util-Hafner
Bn- C.B. Young, Kendrick
SP- Sabathia, E Santana, J Shields, Snell, Lincecum
RP- B Myers, Fuentes, Jones, S Shields, Lidge
**Madson filling in for Myers**


I'm in second, 9.5 pts out of first, 12 pts ahead of third. Most of the cats are very close.

I think only Upton is playing over his head, but I have Kendrick as a fallback. I think Hafner, Hall, and Konerko have better days ahead. I believe everyone else will stay right around where they are.

I've thought about going after another SP, but I am running about 50 inn. over the limit, so playing Santana at home is working pretty well. If Myers comes back healthy, then I should be set at closer. If Lidge gets dealt into a closer's role, then he could really put me over the top.

Do you all think I need to make any changes?

instead of looking for another pitcher since you are over the limit i would look to get rid of your mediocre pitchers for sure things. also if your league has regular scoring than Shields and Lidge are only helping you in ERA and WHIP but not as much as you think. i would look to replace them with actual closers. also, you bats should come around at any time now. so to answer your question i would be willing to bet your team starts to move up in rankings soon. good luck

I don't think Madson is the closer. I thought the same thing but I picked up Antonio Alfonseca. I think you might want to look into it becuase Antonio has the only save chance since myers went down.

Get another “for sure” SP, I can see your pitching categories slowly diminish with that staff.
