Too many OF, not enough SP..overall roster advice
Posted: May 13th, 2017, 12:04 am
I drafted Thor, Price, Rich Hill and Cole Hamels. So, you can imagine the patchwork staff I am working with now. I've dropped Hill completely, the other 3 are on my DL.
ESPN, 8 team league, we can have a max of 8 RP and 8 SP. We have a minimum of 7 games started (GS) by a SP each week for ERA and WHIP to count. I'm currently in 1st place.
Offensive categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, OBP, SLG
Pitching Categories: QS, ERA, WHIP, K/9, KBB, SVHD
The roster
C - Lucroy
1B - Freeman
2B - Dozier
3B - Arenado
SS - Diaz
2B/SS - Carpenter
1B/3B - Rendon
OF - Harper
OF - Thames
OF - JD Martinez
OF - Polanco
UTIL - Chris Davis
UTIL - Schwarber
BE - Desmond
BE - Puig
BE - Gyorko
SP - Darvish, E. Santana, R. Ray, Triggs, Lynn (Thor, Price, Hamels on DL)
RP - Jansen, Betances, Iglesias, Devenski, Norris, Kahnle, Swarzak
I dropped Uehara today to pick up Corbin because of the min GS. And Price will be coming back soon, so I'll need to find someone to drop or trade.
I have a really hard time dropping any of the offensive guys because their RoS projections look good. Should I be less concerned about the projections?
I am also hesitant to drop Triggs or Lynn because free agency is slim pickin's for SP. Best options out there are Alex Wood (considered a RP), Walker, Gausman, Shoemaker, Velasquez, Senzatela, Morton, Graveman & maybe a couple more.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
