Starters vs. Relievers

[benirv2]

In the league that I am in, lineups are set once at the start of each week. Positions are: 2 - C; 1 of each 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, MI, CI; 5 - OF; 1 - U and 9 - P. Makeup of the team is 23 starters and 6 reserves. It's a Rotisserie League.

Scoring for Batting Categories are: BA - Batting Average, HR - Home Runs, RBI - Runs Batted In, SB - Stolen Bases.

Scoring for Pitching Categories are: ERA - Earned Run Average, S - Saves, W - Wins, WHIP - Walks + Hits / Inning.


I drafted 11 pitchers, 5 starters and 6 relievers. I can only play 9 each week so 2 of the relievers are reserve players (one is on DL).

Is this a good strategy or should I change the mix of starters and relievers? Should I drop some of my reserve position players and add more pitchers?

Here is my team for the 1st period:

Active Batters
C Rod Barajas (C NYM)
C Carlos Ruiz (C PHI )
1B Pablo Sandoval (3B SF )
2B Brandon Phillips (2B CIN)
3B Ryan Zimmerman (3B WAS )
