Fantasy Pitching Rotation Question

Rubeskies · #1 04-01-2006, 04:49 AM

Standard 5X5 scoring system. I have 7 SPs and only 5 slots to use them.

My #1 and #2 are Pedro and Randy. After that though I have 5 guys who I guess I could shuffle.

I'm leaning towards keeping Joe Blanton and Jose Contreras in the rotation so far.

I also have Zach Duke, Chien Ming Wang and Shawn Shacon. Duke had an outstanding rookie season but he is getting roughed up in spring training. I know people say spring don't mean that much but he's getting really banged around out there. Wang and Shacon have each just been awarded a spot in the Yankee rotation and with that lineup they are gonna get a ton of run support whereas Duke will not with the Pirates.

What do you guys think?

Only thing I know is that Jamie moyer is the perfect sub starter. His home numbers are crazy. Trade a couple morons , pick up moyer and you are good to go!!!!!!!

Shuffle those last three spots based on matchups and number of starts.

I'd keep Duke on the bench til he shows he's pitched out of his ST funk

I agree bud. You are going to have a hard time getting good cosistent numbers out of that group. See what you can do to pick up some young pitchers, look to see if Jorge Sosa and Horatico Ramirez are free agents. Pitchers like that are undervalued and probably available.

Guys like Oliver Perez and Brad Penny as well who were ranked too low by yahoo.
