Very new to Fantasy Baseball and have a very basic question. I notice some people in my league have multiple hitters on their bench while others have mostly pitchers. In a league with C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, UTL - SP, SP, RP, RP, P, P, P and five BN slots is it best to stack pitchers? I currently have 1 hitter and 4 pitchers on the bench.

1 hitter and 4 pitchers works...

If you want me to look at your team, post the team. Don't post a link to another site where the team is.
Have you given me all the info I need to judge your team? The number of teams in the league is a good start for the big overall questions.
Is your league H2H? Roto?
I don't know who's on your waivers. Don't just ask me who you should pick up. Give me names to choose from.
If you only have one team, post your team in your signature with the league parameters.
I don't know every single matchup for next week, so if you want me to choose a player for the following week and you think the matchups are important, tell me who they're facing.

It depends on how your league scores, if your lineup changes are daily or weekly, how deep your league is (how many teams?), and how strong your starting nine are vs. your top SPs. You can never have too much pitching though.

Except for maybe innings-capped leagues I prefer pitchers to hitters...never understood why some managers will stockpile hitters who rarely get into the lineup and then aren't competitive in some of the pitching categories.
