I can't decide what to do.

I have 4 different picthers who will face Washington next week. santana, peavy, young, and pedro. But only one of those is a 2 start starter. I can't decide whether I should waive brian wilson and chris young for 2 more 2 start starters or not. Young has been good, but lost both times. SD cant get run support for Peavy or Young either one.

CBS wn't even allow waiving peavy or santana so I can't waive those either. I can waive alckey, but he MAY get two starts. So I am unsure whether to drop lackey or not.

If I were to waive lackey and wilson and young and bench peavy I could use 15 starts.

I am 5 or 6 wins behind some guys so even though washington may be easy wins, I may be froced to not use those easy wins and use 2 start guys instead.

edit: now cbs also lists lackey as two starts. I see two teams I am chasing in pitching categories are using 10+ starters and the others are using 7 or less. With my current players I could use up to 13 and out of those 3 would be against washington, 1 against oakland, and 1 against texas. So I most likely would have good luck in wins the coming week. However since I also need a lot of k's and a miracle to gain in whip I really am considering using up to 15 starts. I most likely will use 12 starts and 2 closers and then nextw eek see what I ened to do.

The only 2 start guys left who may be worth something are the atlanta and cleveland rookies. But maybe I should stick with these 1 start guys against Washington and then nextw eek use more of the 2 start guys and waive lackey etc etc.

edit again: I now found out Marquis will be a two start pitcher against Houston and St. Louis even though cbs shows him as pitching today when really zambrano is.

To use him I would have to waive either brian wilson or use him instead of volstad.

Should I waive Volstad since he faces houston and philadelphia AND he is coming off a leg injury? AND is on the bad marlins? Maybe I should pick up marquis for him.

What a disappointing way to end the season. I am about 20 k's behind 1 guy, 39 behind another, 6 wins behind gaining 5 wins points, close to gaining in e.r.a. and whip. But yet I am FORCED to use only 10 starts this week. Two clsoers and 10 starts when I really badly need to use around 15 and then more than 15 next week to have much chance at gaining in k's and wins. But the only available two start guys are moehler, sommanmistine or whatever his anme is, and guys owned by less than 10%.

I will just have to hope that my 4 starts against washington and other against oakland will help me gain in wins, e.r.a., and whip this week and then next week I would have to hope I could somehow gain TONS of k's or I have no chance.

What's also sad is I AM NOW THE SAME AMOUNT BEHIND in another league which I had no chance in! So that shows how bad I am doing in this one too. I am now 20 back in both of them.

I still ahve a mathematical chance in this one, but what a way to lose.... normally I go out fighting with lots of starts and it's disappointing to have my hands tied this time and have to watch my team lsoe ground because I can't get any good two start guys so I can/'t even go out with a bang. If I use 16-18 starts next week it still won't likely be enough to help even if they all toss shutouts.

My teams arw a joke now. In one league I once thought I had a chance in i am nearly 40 points out now. haha.

In the main one I was trying in I am about 25 or so out. I would have to have pretty much EVERY start be good the rest of the way AND my offense explode AND the top guy get caught in some categories. It HAS to start soon as there are barely any days left. lol I haven't picked up a win in about two weeks.

Wow, this topic is sure active. My ninth straight post now.

In one of my leagues one team is in first place and then two teams are half a point behind him. It's a daily league too so if they are smart they should be making some mvoes the final weekend.

I found out that although I am still 16 points out after Santana's masterpiece, I technically could still win if my final 4 starts are all perfect games. lol Even then I would ened help. But anywya that would lower my whip from 1.31 to 1.28.

So how did it finish out? I lost all 3 cbs leagues but won all 4 sporting news leagues so I basically break even.

Didn't answer my other topic so I don't know whether to use the betting system.

I lost all elagues and finished no better than fourth in any which was my worst year yet. I did better than anybody the final 2-3 months, but it wasn't enough when coming back from 34 behind. I finished 2 and 1/.2 behind the third palce guy which was a guy who said I had "a snowball's chance in hell" of reaching him and on the final day I still had a chance to catch him. He's one of those people who talks big and then gets lucky he didn't look horrible out of it.

lol Aaron told me that Joey Devine would be the Braves closer this year and he is hurt and in the minors. Then last week he told me Matt Kemp of the Dodgers would have a big second half and he is in the minors now. Also he told me Valverde would be closer again fairly quiclkly and he is int he minors.

You must have thought I am running a minor league flb team, Aaron. lol Even Oliver is there, whom you drafted and told me to draft, as well as Delmon.

I misspoke about Devine being the Braves closer. I meant he would be Oakland's closer.

lol Lou named Gregg the cubs closer instead of Marmol. What a joke. Gregg is one of those you just have to sit and wait until he is bombed and a manager should know not to put him as a closer over Marmol.

This thread should really be pinned but no big deal. I'll just bump it.

Well it has 20 pages and isn't all about this season so some people may get annoyed trying to figure out what is related to this year vs. other years.
