I would also consider trading one of your power hitters and either Mantei or Benitez for another top-tier closer. You can't start all of those power guys so you might as well make sure you win some of the pitching cats.
Good work, I have used this technique in past years and it usually works. I also usually keep an ace (like prior) as a starter, because one or more of your RP might get rocked, and then you could be screwed witout some balance.
Actually, in one of my leauges that counts HLDs I have:
Prior
Peavy (On DL)
Willis
Perez
Shields
Rincon
Otsuka
Lidge
K-Rod
Cordero
benitez
Every week I start two Starters and all the RP listed, I'm doing pretty well =)
bk did u see my last post that im 29.5 up? my closers are Benitez, Smoltz, Izzy, Guardado, and Affeldt now. They are looking pretty good and i might try to trade away some hitting for another top guy.
My offense has changed a little too. After a few trades this is how my hitting looks:
C J. Posada (NYY - C)
1B T. Helton (Col - 1B)
2B A. Soriano (Tex - 2B)
3B A. Huff (TB - 1B,3B,RF,DH)
SS Á. Rodríguez (NYY - 3B,SS)
OF C. Beltrán (KC - CF)
OF G. Sheffield (NYY - RF)
OF C. Crawford (TB - LF) -
Util C. Lee (CWS - LF)
Util D. Lee (ChC - 1B)
BN S. Podsednik (Mil - CF)
BN B. Giles (SD - LF,CF,RF)
BN M. Teixeira (Tex - 1B,3B)
BN A. Jones (Atl - CF)
BN L. WalkerDL (Col - RF)
BN P. Wilson(Col - CF)
DL M. GilesDL (Atl - 2B)
DL E. ChávezDL (Oak - 3B)

I would hope you were winning, you have basically 5 first round picks on your offense.
