rank my pitchers

[Tunaman]

my two SP are Franisco Liriano, and Rich Harden
Rp-Mariano rivera, and Franisco Cordero
P-Brandon Morrow, Johnny Cueto, and Jared Weaver
BN-John Maine, John Smoltz

i dont know how good these guys are. are they good enough to at least keep in the running of my yahoo roto league?

[GoldenSeals]

How deep is your league? Short answer, it\'s all dependent on health, but I\'d say no. You really don\'t have an anchor you can rely on.

[Tunaman]

its a twelve team league, so do you think i should try and trade for a better Pitcher??

some of my guys that i could trade would be Granderson, Melvin Mora, and Mark Derosa.
for those guys what type of pitcher do you think i should target??

my deepest postion on my team would be 3B

[Tunaman]

in case it helps here is my whole team:
C-Martin*, Pierzynski
1B- A Gonzalez*, Loney
2B-Derosa*
3B-Wright* Aramis Ramirez,Mora
SS- JJ Hardy*
OF-Granderson*, Hunter*, J Damon*
U- Aramis Ramirez*





* means starter

[GoldenSeals]

You\'re definitely deep at 3B, so you could try trading Mora or perhaps Aramis Ramirez. Other option is to try and trade Johnny Damon or Torii Hunter for a solid starter like John Lackey. Aramis might be able to net you a Dan Haren type starter.

Sounds good to me as that will really help your pitching out and give your lineup a very nice balance. I\'m sure there\'s somebody in your league looking to improve at 3B.

3B is a definate deep spot. Arimas is the one I\'d trade as he\'d get similar value at SP - whereas Mora wouldn\'t net you anyone better than what you have.

As a Haren owner, I don\'t think Arimas is what I\'d look for for Haren... I would try to pawn him off as a #1 fantasy starter rather than a #2 starter (which is more Arimas-like) but it depends on how deep your player pool is, also how much your league alues pitching as a whole.

Test the market with Arimas and see if you come up smelling like roses!

I think you need a consistent #1 / #1b type SP as well...

ive been looking over FA and i noticed that Andy pettitte is avaiable, should i pick him up??

[GoldenSeals]

I\'d monitor Pettitte as his numbers should\'ve been better last year, but as of now I\'d stand pat.

[Tunaman]

a owner in my league has Daisuk Matsuzaka on his block, he doesnt have a Catcher, and a deal i might send him (havnt yet) is mora, and A.J Pierszynski, for Matsuzaka.
is this giving up too much or no?

[GoldenSeals]

I\'d shop around and see if anyone else will bite on Mora, but if you have to settle, I\'d still do the Dice K. Finding a catcher to replace Pierzynski should be relatively easy - guys like Mike Napoli, Sandoval, Iannetta perhaps are on the WW whom I\'d replace for Pierzynski even if I don\'t pull a trade off

[jackalope]

Dice K. is a good addition if Mora / Pierzinski is the price. No reason I can think of to not pull the trigger.
