Pitching staff is starting to tank WHIR

Postby blove523 » Fri Jul 31, 2009 5:12 pm

My pitching the past couple weeks, behind Lincecum and Wainwright, have been mediocre at best. I've had problems with Bedard going on the DL and the overall ineffectiveness of Francisco Liriano. Are there any possible trades or targets you see that could strengthen and ensure domination come playoff time? This league is a 10 team H2H league that consists of people that I work with. 2 Keepers which are Albert and Hanley.

C - Jorge Posada
1B - Albert Pujols
2B - Chase Utley
SS - Hanley Ramirez
3B - Mark DeRosa
OF - Nick Markakis
OF - Matt Holliday
OF - Matt Kemp
UTIL - Adam Dunn
UTIL - Troy Tulowitzki
B - Brian Roberts

SP - Tim Lincecum
SP - Roy Oswalt
SP - Matt Garza
SP - Adam Wainwright
SP - Francisco Liriano
SP - Yovanni Gallardo
SP - Chris Carpenter
SP - Tommy Hanson
SP - Joe Blanton
RP - Brad Lidge
RP - Jose Valverde
DL - Erik Bedard

you seem to have a middle infield glut. roberts is a great fantasy player but sometimes underrated. i'd try to turn him or tulowitzki into a solid starter. hamels seems to be turning the corner, you might still be able to buy low on him. billingsley has had a rough few starts, you might be able to get him on the cheap. i also like nolasco's chances for the rest of the year, the owner might want to sell high. if you're really desperate for a top tier starter you could try to deal utley for pretty much any of beckett, halladay, santana, felix, etc. really depends on how you're valuing those guys. shoot for an owner who needs middle infielders.

I would move gallardo or garza for RP help or a stud catcher. also getting rid of liriano and lidge would help immensely.
