Grey's and all other opinions welcome.
12-team, 5x5 roto league.
C Perez, Salvador C Pierzynski, A.J. 1B Rizzo, Anthony 2B Kinsler, Ian 3B Middlebrooks, Will SS Reyes, Jose MI Johnson, Kelly CI Carter, Chris OF Bruce, Jay OF Fowler, Dexter OF McCutchen, Andrew OF Rasmus, Colby OF Victorino, Shane DH Rutledge, Josh Bench Votto, Joey (DL) Bench Sandoval, Pablo (DL)
P Bumgarner, Madison P Gonzalez, Gio P Milone, Tommy P Peavy, Jake P Samardzija, Jeff P Motte, Jason P Cook, Ryan Bench Axford, John Bench Garza, Matt Bench Minor, Mike Bench Marcum, Shaun (DL) Even with injuries to Votto, Sandoval, Marcum and Garza I'm currently in first (by 1 point) and want to keep it that way.
Category rankings: AVG: 2nd HR: 2nd RBI: 6th R: 5th Steals: 5th K: 2nd ERA: 1st WHIP: 1st W: 1st S: 9th
Saves are killing me but not much I can do about that. Already carrying three closers. Anyway, most room I can make up is in runs and RBI. I'm thinking of making some crazy moves to deplete my pitching staff to get the greatest offensive lineup I could dream up. I could solidify AVG and make up some points in runs and RBI. And maybe if Kemp can steal a base without hurting himself...
I have 2 deals on the table where my net would be my Gio, Peavy, Minor and Rutledge for Kemp and Pujols. I would replace Carter with Pujols and start Kemp at DH. When Votto and Panda come back, my offense would be insane but at the cost of my pitching staff: Bumgarner, Marcum (soon, I hope), Garza (sooner, I hope) Milone, and Samardijidijiza. I would have to pay close attention to streamers cause Bum is my only must start of the bunch. But I think I could get away with that pitching staff. At this point in the season, it wouldn't kill my ratios, K's would be tight, and wins are unpredictable. Plus I could always turn around and trade some offense back for pitching.
It's a risky strategy but is it worth it??? Thanks to all in advance.
