Not sure why washburn isn't active there?????

Are you limited to three starters. I'm an AL guy but would probably have Washburn in there starting.

[Guest]

no, we're not limited to 3 starters, actually, we can start whoever we want on the days that they pitch... However, we are limited to 800 innings of pitching, and ive already used 519 innings... who should i end up pitching when the end of the year closes in? clemens? moyer? david wells?

[tallmike]

Don't run short. Played probably 75% of the games and you're at 65% of your innings max. I'd take innings now, particularly from seattle and Annaheim guys who are in a race.

Wells and his back scare me. Clemens has not been great since he got back. You have to wonder if one of these guys gets rested with Weaver sitting on the bench and not too many meaningful games. Fewer innings anyway and a quicker hook.

Moyer has been hittable lately but at least in games that matter. I'll still advocated for Washburn too.

You look like you've got innings to spare unless I'm missing something.

As tallmike says: burn innings, and burn them now. If the season is in fact cut short, a whole lot of leagues will be won not by the best team, but by the one that used the most innings...
