Final Week Strategy
Posted: September 21st, 2010, 10:35 am
"Bully Hitting and Manage Pitching" is a mantra. As we enter the final week of the season I am wondering if my projected thoughts can be disputed. Pitching Rosters for the 25th week are in stone. For week 26, managing things can be done. I have a nine point league in my Satellite league.
In Wins, I have 119. This is four more than any team in the main event and 17 more than any other team in my league. I don't need any wins. I am at 1274 Ks for 14 points with the next three closest at 1221, 1213 & 1194. It would be hard to lose any there but I guess it is possible. ERA & WHIP are close with 4-6 point in play if my team implodes and others do well. My observations or ERA & WHIP are they it is hard to improve at this point but getting worse numbers is easy.
My current plan is to bench/cut my SPs and replace them with the injured for that final week. I have $4 FAAB left so I can make 4 moves. I would not want to start even good MRs as they too could have blowups. Wagner is my only closer and he would remain active. Jansen and Trevor Bell (LAA) are on my roster. My four top pitchers are Ubaldo, Myers, Hudson & Haren. I'm actually thinking of starting as few of them as possible.
Stupid or smart?
