[Bobby B 11]

Alright guys my team is in need of pitching. who would you suggest me moving for either a starter or a closer> and which do you think i should acquire a starter or closer?

16 team h2h mixed league

C-Wieters
1B-Teixiera
2B-Utley
3B-Chris Davis
SS-Elvis Andrus
OF- Nelson Cruz, Granderson, Markakis
Util-Garrett Atkins, McCutcheon
BN- Gordon Beckham

SP-Lilly,R. Wolf, Zach Duke, Randy Wells, and Blackburn
RP- F. Cordero, Matt Thornton, Marmol, and CJ Wilson
DL-Volquez, Duscherscherer (ahah spell check plz), and Percival

right now this guy was talking Zobrist and Joe Nathan for Markakis, but im not sure if i should just forfeit saves or what. Or if i need a good starting pitcher, if so who will you guys reccommend?

BUMP any help is greatly appreciated fellas

For a 16 team league your OF has to be one of the best. I'd start shopping Nelson Cruz first and see if you can sell him high. Try aiming for a Bedard, Lester, Lee type pitcher in return.

bump fellas. what you think of adding a closer to my team instead of starting pitching?

The reason no one is jumping to help is that you left out a ton of details that would need to be included.

Scoring system?-Looks like maybe roto, but that is a guess.

Daily or weekly transactions?

How many SP and RP can you start each day/week?

I am also assuming this is not a keeper. If it is a redraft league, Wieters is your best candidate to sell I think. Big name, but still a rookie and will probably not live up to his hype in '09.

As far as which pitchers to recommend, it would be impossible to tell without seeing the rosters of your entire league. There are tons of pitchers out there that could upgrade your staff. But maybe one that is a decent buy-low is Gavin Floyd. Sub-1 WHIP, sub-2 ERA, better than a K per inning in his last 4 starts. Maybe he is figuring it out.

sorry i had 16 team Head 2 HEad (h2h) like i said. scoring based on IP, W, Ks, SVs, Holds, ERA, WHIP

you can start up to 5 SP with 2 SP positions and 3 P positions.

so if you had 5 SP you could start them all if they had an outting that day.

my question was do i trade markakis for a big name pitcher?
