12 Team standard 5X5 roto. Current pitching staff:
SP: Sabathia, Billingsly, Gallardo
RP: Rivera, Bell, Capps, Hanrahan
Reserve: David Price
Recently made two multi-player trades and lost my SP4/5 of Chris Young and Wandy. I'm looking at the following free agents:
Edwin Jackson - nice start, fool's gold longer term?
Randy Wolf - Recently dropped by another owner. Like his skills, but has burned me in past years.
Dave Bush - Seems to be doing well enough...
John Maine - Dropped by another owner. Probably like his skills the most of this group.
Could also pick up Kuroda or Duchscherer off the wire and stash to my DL until they are ready.
League rules limit f/a pick ups (not streaming friendly), so what 2 SP's would you roster here?
(Currently 8th in K, 5th ERA, 6th WHIP, 1st W, 8th SV)
Help picking SP 4/5....

Re: Help picking SP 4/5....
I can see Wolf ...am a Wolf owner for a few years and was very impressed how he did last night in Philly. But I can't recommend any of the other three ... on the old boards several years ago, there was a discussion about Bush and his low WHIP vs high ERA - the conclusion at the time was that he's tough to get on base on ...but he's not very good with men on base, and that after 45-50 pitches, he becomes very hittable.
These are my views based on my own opinions and observations - your mileage may vary.

Jackson and Wolf. If you can add both of them and Duchscherer to the DL I'd do that also.
