Here's my team in a 12-team H2H league. We categories we score are BA, runs, home runs, RBI's, stolen bases for offense. And wins, saves, strike outs, ERA, and WHIP for pitching. Our benches are set to be rather deep so please bear with the length of this post. Got 8 bench slots and 2 DL spaces.
With only Papelbon as my only sure-fire closer option, I'm really considering trading him away and completely punting the saves category and bulking up my offense and just grabbing some middle relief pitching to try to deflate my ERA and WHIP. Anyways, any kind of advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.
