I'd consider Looper over O'Sullivan. The others have risks that are way too big for me.

If you get a chance:

In order to pick-up Braden Looper I would have to cut ties with Hughes or Buccholz.
Stay pat with the two rookies or which one would you let gooo!

Thanks for the help with mine.

I have both Ohlendorf and Neimann on my bench.

That being said Looper might be the right choice.

unless you're in a keeper i don't see much reason to roster buchholz or hughes.

[NUTZ]

this is a keeper league

Take a look at the yahoo article... Scroll down and there is a list of two start pitchers. Among the options you listed, Brad Evans ranks Pavano the best AL option and Ohlendorf or Looper the best NL option.

I personally probably would go with Looper though.

i added looper and dropped o'sullivan
now should i add pavano and drop buccholz?

and if so bench cueto or qualls

Thanks for the help.

I would stick with what you have if its a keeper league and you have Buchholz. If you already dropped him to take Pavano, I think you play him over Cueno.
