Pettitte (groin) will miss the next 4-to-5 weeks, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. If this is correct he should only get 5-7 starts when he comes back i believe.
If i do drop him who should i pick up? Is there anybody else on my squad i can drop for somebody better?

I did the math, and with 73 starts remaining and 4 Starting Pitchers I would need each SP to get 18 starts for the rest of the season. If i run with 5 SP (Dropping Pettite and adding a different SP) then they will each need to get 15 starts for the rest of the season. 15 seems more attainable then 18.
So which SP should i go with? My first choice would be Shawn Marcum (i just recently dropped him when he went on the DL) and he had a win yesterday. What do you guys think?
Here is a list of my top 5 favorite SPs from that list (btw, I can't believe those guys are on the ww)
1). Gavin Floyd 2). Jeff Niemann 3). Trevor Cahill 4). Shaun Marcum 5a). Scott Baker 5b). Jair Jurrjens
Honestly, any one of them would be good over Pettite, and I'd rather have 1-3 above Pettite even when he's healthy.
What's up with Heilman and Marshall? Does your league count Holds? I'm not sure why they're ownable otherwise. I'd consider dropping both of them along with Pettite, and adding 2 SPs and maybe Drew Storen or Evan Meek (check to see if they're available, because they're going to be closing for their teams in a few weeks).
(In reference to an Aaron Hill for David Price swap)

Heilmain is the "interim" closer for Arizona. Chad Qualls cant hold on to the job...so as far as i know its Heilmans. Marshall is there just for K's and low ERA and WHIP.
The reason why i havent replaced them with 2 SP's is because this league has a 200 games started Maximum. I am currently 19 starts over the pace, and have 73 starts remaining.
