Innings Pitched Limit for Pitchers

[jordan]

Our Yahoo league set a limit on the # of innings a team can have at each position. Right now, my pitchers are at +71! I have a very good rotation and I make sure each pitcher is active when they are scheduled to start, plus i have 4 RPs in the P slots. What do I do to trim those #s down?

id say trade some of your good rotation away to increase you offense, or try some quantity for quality trades

1) bench pitchers against good teams
2) use all your innings early then trade away all your pitching

If you're way ahead on saves, you can trade one of your closers a little later on in the season, like June or something.

Closers don't account for alot of innings, however, so it's your starters you need to maximize. As previously stated, you can bench your starters (even good ones) against the better hitting ballclubs. You could also trade away a pitcher to boost your hitting or somesuch.

Also, just because you have excellent pitching, still be sure to keep an eye out for good pitchers in FA or on the WW. You can never have enough talent.
