Look at your opponent next week and see how many closers he has. you have 4 pretty good ones, but id drop marmol if any for like baker if you need the pitching. since IP is a cat thats kinda easy to get, but again you have 4 closers. take that into consideration.
you have ok speed so davis would boost that if you needed it.

Add Rajai Davis for sure, the guy has been raking and he will steal a ton of bases. I am very worried about Billingsley and I would grab Pedro just incase Chad continues to implode.

Help with mine?

Yeah, agreed here. Billingsley has been looking crap for quite some time now, much to my team's chagrin. Pedro would be a decent choice as would Baker and Buchholz. Other than that, your line-up looks pretty good.

If you don't have any days where Alexi Ramirez plays and one of your starters has a day off, I'd dump him for Phil Hughes. You can plug Hughes into your SP spot and try and get a vulture win, some k's and help in ERA and WHIP. Perhaps even a vulture save. I'd also consider dropping Nolasco for Howell and plugging him into your pitcher spot occupied by Greinke until his start comes up. With 5 closers you should be able to ice saves, once that is the case dump Howell and add the best SP available for depth, that's what I'd do anyways. Help with mine please?
