Time to trade two of Felix, Cueto, and Bum for hitters

[Brees#1]

And go all in on the two start strategy? Have nothing to lose right? The hitting is average and inconsistent, and I might as well boost it up and then just take two starts each week of hitting.

depends who you can get

Felix is back in two weeks. Cueto is probably worth a tier 1 hitter. Bum I have no idea.

I am looking at that team and I don't have a single player that has above 200..........

Two start strategy will not work without good enough hitting.

I guess I drafted a bad team. I blame CBS for screwing up the rankings this year.

You blame CBS?

Holy crap

Yes because I was expecting pitchers to be all ranked high again over others and it was not the case. I had no idea what Cueto's draft value was.

So here's what I did..
In the last week I have added Bergman as a second RP to go with Chacin(good at home). Last week they were both bad in three of four games combined. But Bergman was at the nats and Chacin had two road games. Bergman's at home against the rays, and Chacin is at home against Colorodo this week.

I decided two starts is not my strength for now. I decided to stream two pitchers.
I am playing Ty Blach for the phillies start and German Marquez for the padres start(both on the road)
I am sticking with Senzatella and Nova. I decided to bench Cueto against phillies this week over Lynn at cubs. Cueto's been back and forth and seems to be having some issues on the road and he's 1-4 against phillies.

I dropped Harvey despite his last start. I don't like the fact he's rematching against the same team

Now for hitting, I dropped Alonzo and Cozart. Story is starting at SS and I am benching Perez and Carpenter for Avila and Pujols this week. I am looking at the hitting trends where Pujols is due for another big 20+ week(and why was he on FA to begin with?), at home against most righties. Avila has had big weeks after really bad ones and he also has most righties. The situational stats pointed to these reasons.
Perez does not play as well at home, and has two lefties on the schedule as well as some righties he's struggled against. And Carp is had some down weeks and this week does not appear any better for him.

whats your team look like?

 

[Brees#1]

Nova and Senzatella had to lose. I really though Senz would do okay in Seattle, I guess not. The dbacks are becoming a team you can't play against period unless your pitchers are aces. The only good thing is I am down 31 with three more starts left than the opponent but he has two closers including Jansen.

The offer of Cueto and Carpenter was turned down for Arenado.

And now Benintendi might be in a platoon.
