He is currently up by 10 IP, so I'm considering a radical departure from my earlier plan of pitching a bunch of 2 starters and instead picking up a bunch of MRs in the hope of picking up vulture wins, holds, ERA, WHIP and K/BB (saves are already mine). The other option is to push forward with the same general strategy (all 2 starters) but punt holds and add Wellemeyer and another SP/RP that has 2 starts, but the only one I can find is Ryan Rowland Smith...

I like my chances over the last week. Now the question... we have minor league rosters, and I have David Price on it. If I don't call him up this year, he'll still be on my minor league roster next year (which automatically carries over). I have a 15k lead right now but am losing by 1 W and .5 ERA points. Thoughts?
