I'd stick with what you have but keep a close eye on Kazmir and Kuroda.

Besides a solid WHIP, Kuroda's numbers aren't going to stand out in a 10 team league. I would rank Dempster as your worst starter. The only guy that I would be looking at is Liriano. Kazmir has some upside too, but I just don't trust him enough. I would hold pat and watch Liriano and Kazmir closely.

I like your staff and would keep it as is. I think Kazmir is def. worth watching though. He pitched well after being traded.

I agree that Dempster is currently your worst starter but the guy I'd keep an eye on would be Matusz.

If you are willing to roll the dice, Matusz for Dempster?

When the season is over, you will look back and love that move.
