[Bob Loblaw]

8 team league. 5 x 5 roto. Starters: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, 3 OF, Util, 3 SPs, 2 RPs, and 2 Ps. Bench: 5.

I picked 7th and ended up with this team:

C - R Martin

1B - P Fielder

2B - C Utley

SS - C Guillen

3B - C Jones

OF - C Beltran, G Sizemore, C Granderson

Util - A Dunn

Bench - P Konerko, H Matsui, R Weeks, and JJ Hardy

SP - A Harang, T Lincecum, F Carmona

RP - B Myers, J Chamberlain

P - B Sheets, F Liriano

Bench - K Escobar

Obviously, I need some help at Saves. Some available names on WW include: R Betancourt, H Bell, J Accardo, H Okajima, P Neshek, B Fuentes, B Weathers.

Should I drop my offensive bench and pick up middle relievers, or maybe drop B Myers, J Chamberlain, and K Escobar and focus on ERA and WHIP? Help me out!!!

Thanks.

Konerko, Dunn or Mastui should be tradeable. I would try and package one of them and a closer? Normally I wouldn't suggest trading for a closer, but if you've got nothing and none are available, getting one by trade isn't horrible.

I wouldn't try to focus on ERA and WHIP without RP, since they are usually the pitcher who will help you out in those catagories and you've got one (Joba). You're going to have a good chance to get wins and ks every week. A top RP and a good pickup might be enough to help out in ERA and whip enough.

Update: So I have been offered Isringhausen and Gagne for Lincecum. I think I'm going to accept the offer.

Any reasons why I shouldn't?

I cut Konerko. I've got Fielder and Guillen.Further update: I dropped Weeks for Snell. I dropped Hardy for Sherrill. So my offensive bench is Matsui only. My pitchers are Harang, Carmona, Liriano, Sheets, Escobar, Snell, Myers, Chamberlain, Isringhausen, Gagne, and Sherrill.I think my team is pretty well set up right now. I am now concentrating on improving BA. Thinking about offering any of my outfielders for Ichiro. I've thrown out Matsui for Ichiro. This is Ichiro's owner's first year playing fantasy beisbol. We'll see if he bites. He may like the power #s.

Update: Matsui is in for Granderson right now. I have been offered Josh Hamilton for my B Sheets. I suspect that Sheets will eventually end up on the DL, so I am considering the move. However, at this point, should I be looking for more in return for Sheets?
