There are some good names out there, but looking at how your current roster is assembled, you could go one of two ways.

Option #1) Fill backup spots in your weaker areas. In this case I would look at selecting
Carlos Gonzalez
James Shields
Scott Baker

Option #2) Take the best available players and deal as needed to improve your team.
Billy Butler
Gordon Beckham
Jay Bruce

Well, since we only have 4 SP's each week, and my pitching is weaker than most teams, I was thinking that maybe I should add at least 2 SP's and each week go with the guys who have two starts.

I was thinking Scherzer for sure, and then one other guy, possibly Shields.
