Is my hitting good enough to overlook weak pitching?

I feel like I'm relying too much on unproven talent with my pitching. I'm playing in a 10-team H2H 8x7 league, and pitching seems to be a tough commodity. Everyone wants to hoard their good pitching, so I always feel like I'm overpaying for pitching talent in a trade. Opinions? Suggestions?

I would not worry about it....you will have a lot of headaches though because of the up and down play of young guys. Watch for signs of them falling off near the all-star break and do not hesitate to trade them for proven guys at that point.

That's a lot of starting pitchers. Is there a maximum inning limit in your league?

I think you'll be fine....Maybe a little light on saves for a ten team league but CL aren't as important in a H2H league.

A quick question for you: Who was you'r 6th round pick: Boone, Rents, Rolen, Beltran, Maggs, Pedro? Thats all top 3 round talent there.

yeah this staff looks decent enough but you should look to move Milton, Riley or Zambrano (guys whose value is high right now) for a closer... but usually its really hard to win in a competitive league going completely for pitching or hitting and punting the other (thats what i though the title suggested when i first read it )

[Cornbread Maxwell]

I think you have the perfect strategy - especially considering the catagories are pretty heavily weighted toward offense. BTW - what are the 8x7 cats? Im willing to bet those P cats have a couple luck cats in there like SOs or CGs - essentually making it a 8x5 league or worse.

Besides, since there is apparantly no IP limit or waiver move limit simply abuse the system - rotate in 2-3 SPs every day and punt the %s. You will compete against those P heavy teams in Ks and maybe even wins since they are quantity cats.

Again, a lot of this depends on what the catagories are.

Seems like someone just posted up because he wanted some praise...

Your pitching is fine dude.

6th Round pick was Beckett. Maggs fell to me in the 5th round. I got Renteria in a trade that was basically straight up for Cabrera (my 13th rounder). I traded my 3rd round pick & F. Cordero for Pedro. Boone was my 4th round pick, Beltran was my first overall pick. The owners in my league started drafting pitching WAYYYY too early (in my opinion), so I snatched up some of the offensive juggernauts that were sitting out on the draft board, deciding that I would address pitching later through trading or waiver pickups.

You're league is nuts

[MicrowavedWater]

well... I would try to pck up some good relief pitchers, but I mean since your league i weighted the way it is, if you can always sweep the batting categories dont worry about it that much...
