My team is below. I can add one more player this week. I have a bunch of closers and a set-up guy in Clippard. I feel like I could use more SP, but there's not much out there. I also don't have a C until Montero gets that eligibility, but I don't know if adding one is worth missing out on someone else. Who would you add? Doug Fister (dropped and on waivers...could use #2 waiver to get him or hope he's still out there when he clears, then DL him)
Drew Pomeranz (dominated spring training...will be in Rockies rotation this weekend but will be on IP limit supposedly) Chase Headley (backup at 3B after Wright) Chone Figgins (same) Rafael Furcal (backup for Castro) Ryan Roberts (2B/3B backup) Delmon Young Russell Martin Mike Aviles Wilson Ramos Alejandro de Aza Daniel Bard (will take over for Aceves in Boston) Jim Johnson (closer in Baltimore) Bud Norris Jhoulys Chacin Jake Peavy (if he's back, he's an ace) Jeff Samardzija Lance Lynn (what's the deal here?) Lucas Harrell (same question: what's the deal?) Shelby Miller (will get called-up to replace Carpenter? Contending with Lynn?) Trevor Bauer (stash speculatively?) Julio Teheran (stash speculatively?) Mike Trout (same) Domonic Brown (same)
I don't need any more bench bats, even though I don't have backups for 2B, 3B ,or SS. I'm leaning toward Pomeranz, Lynn, or stashing one of the big name young pitchers like Bauer, Teheran, etc. Thanks!!
C: Jesus Montero 1B: Freddie Freeman 2B: Robinson Cano 3B: David Wright SS: Starlin Castro OF: Chris Young OF: Corey Hart OF: Nelson Cruz Util: Ike Davis BN: Bryce Harper, Justin Morneau, Yoenis Cespedes, Matt Joyce DL: Carl Crawford
SP: Justin Verlander, Matt Moore, Adam Wainwright, Johan Santana, Clay Buchholz, Vance Worley RP: John Axford, Carlos Marmol, Francisco Cordero, Tyler Clippard, Jonathan Broxton, Hector Santiago
i would fill the empty roster spot before anything else and maybe get Martin going, He hasn't had a hit yet but is due. If lucroy is available maybe him.
Streamers Yesterday > NONE (used all of weeks moves shuffling batting) Today > NONE Tomorrow > Duane Below Vs KC *Worley (> My guy ) (* Wanted but taken)

Unless there is another injury, he won't be. Why not just go with the new flavor of the week at that point? I'd go with Lynn now. Slow and steady wins the race!
Go with Lynn, Carpenter is supposed to be out for months. Miller will not come up unless someone struggles or another injury occurs because the Cardinals want him as a SP and not put him in the bullpen.

Well Lynn was snapped up about 20 minutes after my first post. I was on my way home...thought he would be there at least for 20 minutes lol. I added Pomeranz.
Also, I've been trying to reply to everyone's threads, but I keep getting that the form I submitted was invalid. Anybody know what the deal is?
