SP Help

Hey guys I feel a little thin in SP... but not sure if I should make any drastic changes as it's still a fair bit early....

My team is

C Posada
C Martin
1B D. Lee
2B Utely
2B B. Phillips
SS Rollins
3B Cabrera
3B Chavez
3B Beltre
OF Damon
OF Abreu
OF Taveras
OF Granderson
OF/1B Duncan

SP Schilling
SP Bedard
SP Sabathia
SP Cabrera
SP D. Davis
SP B. McCarthy
RP BJ Ryan
RP C. Ray
RP Fuentes
DL R. Johnson & Rogers

My hitting is solid and I don't want to compromise it for a marginal improvement in pitching unless I feel I absolutely have to...

Do you think when RJ returns my staff will be good enough to compete in the pitching cats? Or should I look to make a move.... no one's really biting on any trade offers as most of the teams in this league overrate their own players...

Any thoughts?

Most go with thin hitters benches because they play 5 times a week whereas pitchers will only pitch 1 or 2. I am that way myself. I always prefer only about 2-3 guys on my bench and use the rest of the bench spots to rotate a few SP in and out. I also like having a middle reliever or two.

Is it h2h or roto?

12 Team H2H Categories are:

Hitting: R H 3B HR RBI SB K E AVG OPS
Pitching: W L CG SHO SV H HR BB ERA K/9

Sorry should've mentioned it in original post..... another key stat is 40 min. innings pitched.

I don't mind dropping a hitter or two for a good pitcher but there's not much quality available on the waiver wire...

Jason Jennings, Derek Lowe and Tom Gorzelanny are the best options IMO but who would you drop for either of those guys if any...

I wouldnt.

Try working the trade lines for Chavez, Beltre, Duncan.

Look for Zach Greinke. This kid has always had great stuff and has completely fallen under the radar fantasy wise after he experienced that psychological breakdown. He's the Royals #2 guy and just made the Red Sox look silly today.

Is that Andruw or Adam Jones you're getting back.

And why the hell do you have three 3B?

Andruw..... and well I picked up Chavez off waivers.... thought if he does well could use for a future trade
