H2h Roster concerns

#1 Post by MaestroJay »

5x5 H2H 6 move a week limit (avg)

C - Posey
1B - Hosmer
2B - Albies
3B - Machado
SS - Turner
OF - Cain/Rosario/Taylor (2B/SS/OF)
UTIL - J.Martinez (1B/OF)/Eaton
BN - Suarez/Bell/Kingery

SP - Verlander/Carrasco
RP - Iglesias/Giles
P - Snell/Clevinger/Ziegler/Montgomery
BN - Faria/Wacha

Alonso,Semien,Brinson,Dickerson,Haniger,Calhoun are some names available offensively. Could possibly use another power hitter. If that comes from the waiver, or a trade I'm not sure yet. Or it may come from just waiting it out.

Pitching wise, had grabbed Ziegler while Iglesias was out. Now the question is keeping him due to some teams having 3/4 closers. Or dropping him for an Estrada,Nova,Mikolas type.

You'll drive yourself crazy trying to time time/guess hot streaks in a league this shallow.

Look at the matchups each week (there's a Rotowire piece in Platinum helping in this regard), use your moves judiciously and trust the process.

As for Ziegler, you know your league, but seems like having a third closer would come in handy, though I'd look to upgrade Ziegler.

Not a closer in the bunch, save Greene, who's not an upgrade.

Like Soria at all? or a upside guy like a Steckenrider/Minter/Edwars type to just contend with ratios rather than chase the save? Or keep Ziegler and hope he fixes.

Soria is a better pitcher than Ziegler, but appears to be in a time share - neither plays for a team profiling to get many saves.
