I like Cueto. He's been a roller-coaster the last couple years, but he's shown a lot of ability and could be a good candidate to put it all together in 2010.

Do NOT add Lindstrom, he cant be trusted and will lose his job very soon.

I like Santana out of that bunch. carmona close 2nd, i see him rebounding.

Carmona. Best pitcher in the spring thus far, hands down.

I'd leave Lindstrom. That HOU situation is messy, and Saito should be good for HOLDS.

If you get points for holds I wouldnt pick up Lindstrom. Of that group (B) I would definitely go with Santana.

Please help with mine...

;-D +1

I'm guessing that the plan there is to drop Santana, since he's on both your roster and the list of pitchers?

Keep a careful eye on Feliz too. He's a great prospect, but in your league bif he's not at least scoring regular H's then dump him for someone more useful.
