Obviously, I need some more starting pitching. However, during the draft I felt that the talent available on offense was far greater than what was available on Pitching, so I drafted accordingly. I am currently trying to shop around some hitting for pitching through trades.


What do you think? Thanks !

Not bad...but definitely try to improve your pitching staff. Who are you shopping for pitching? Nevin or Cabrera could land you a stud if you're willing to part with either one.

The problem with trying to trade those guys, is where i was able to steal them in the draft. Because no one valued them as highly as I did, they carry little value to them now. So I think I might have to sit on my team for a couple weeks until those people realized what they passed up. Right now I'm shopping Enseberg and Nevin to some teams that are weak at 1b and 3b.

Basically, what I think I'll do for the first couple weeks is sacrifice either Harden or Myers and keep dropping and picking up a starter and using that pitching spot as a rotating position. Any thoughts on that strategy?
