Drop Aviles and pick up Heath Bell. This will give you a boost in Saves while Aviles gets you no points on the bench.
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

i would drop aviles. it depends on what you think you need more: a hitter or another pitcher. it seems most suggest having more bench pitchers. if you go that way, i like bell for saves, but wandy looked good in his start. also, scherzer has a lot of upside, especially if he is eligible as SP and RP in your league.

if you go with a hitter, i too like hawpe. but bonifacio is interesting too. he's been hot the first 3 games. we all know that won't last, but he's shown he can hit and steal bases. he looks like a solid option. if he continues, he probably won't be on waivers long.

thanks for helping me. if you have a chance... i added a comment to my post. take a look if you don't mind. viewtopic.php?f=26&t=377261&p=3023590#p3023590

Hey there, thanks for the help with mine! I would pickup either Qualls or Heath Bell. You have a terrific starting rotation, I would look to lock up saves with the two aforementioned pitchers. Good luck!

i dont see the point of a no-hitter category. Mostly likely that will be a category that only 1 person will ever win the entire year. Purely luck...but anyway...Hawpe is the best batter especially as you have OBP. But I would go with Bell as I see him picking him 30+ saves this year with great ratios.

Agree with dropping Aviles for Qualls or Bell to lock up saves...they should also help with most of your other pitching categories as well.

Thoughts on mine please? Thanks
