Im new to the board and I could use some advice.
Im in a roto 10x10 scoring league. My bats are swinging except for the triples and error column; however, my pitching as been suspect.
Pitching staff:
Josh Johnson
Andy Pettitte
Dallas Braden
Jake Peavy
Ted Lilly
and added Clayon Richard for this week
closers are Papelbon and Brian Wilson
Mid Relief - Joel Zumaya
then there is Zambrano
So Ive been holding onto Zambrano thinking I could get some holds(he did get 2) but with a high era and whip I think its time for him to go since hes going back into the rotation.
Holds, ERA, and WHIP are categories I need help in.
Here are some guys out there I could get:
Hong-Chih Kuo, Sean Marshall, Clay Hensley, Matt Guerrier
Or just go ahead and keep Zambrano, or another starting pitcher (Arroyo, Ian Kennedy, or Ely if I can get him back after he clears waivers since I cut him Tuesday)

Forget about Zambrano. Kills your WHIP for sure, and likely your ERA.
Marshall is a nice RP right now. Might vulture the odd win too. Holds though for sure. Guerrier is great in MIN. I don't think you can go wrong with him either. Kuo is real good when he's on, but he battles a lot of other guys in the Dodger bullpen for time. Keep an eye on him though.
Any other notable RP names available in your league?

There is also the PIT setup guys, Meek and Hanrahan, KC's Dusty Hughes. thats about it for now.
Or Ely did clear waivers and I could just go ahead and add him back and say the hell with holds ill inch it up with Zumaya

Well k.k.,
Just thought Id let you know what I'm doing.
I dropped Zambrano and added Cervelli earlier today to cover up Posada. Then this afternoon Yahoo got their act together and i was able to put Posada on the DL and make room for...
I'm going with Hong-Chih Kuo. Since May 6th in 6 games hes had 6 Holds and only 1 hit, 1 walk, 0 runs in about 6 innings.
I wanted Marshall, but Im going to wait a couple of days to see how the cubbies pen shakes out, gorzelanny will be in there somewhere.

The PIT guys wouldn't have been bad either, especially Meek. He can vulture the odd win too.
But I do like your add of Hong-Chih Kuo. He's rung off a bunch of holds in the last little while. He's a Taiwan boy as well! That's where I live right now. He and Wang Chien-Ming are like gods out here.
