Love me some acronyms.
Trying to decide who to jettison and wanted to see what the consensus is on SP vs. RP.
Aaron Harang - up-and-down year, nice ERA but sub-par WHIP with an average number of K's and wins; projected schedule of starts:
@ SD
vs. Wash
vs. Oak
@ Pit
@ NYM
vs. Mia
@ Mia
@ Tex
vs. Wash
vs. Pit
@ Phi
Not exactly a daunting schedule, especially now that Texas's lineup is decimated.
Pat Neshek - excellent ratios, nice K rate, 4 wins, probably next-in-line for saves (and I own Rosenthal)
Without Harang I would have 7 starters (after making a trade) with mostly good-to-great K rates. Lately I've fallen behind in K's, going from a commanding lead to 3rd place (4 out of first but 2nd place all of a sudden has 8 SP). I've been leading in ERA for a while but have fallen back down to 2nd (0.02 behind 1st, 0.14 ahead of 3rd). Been leading in WHIP pretty much all eyar, but that gap has closed a bit (0.05 ahead of 2nd, 0.06 ahead of 3rd). Wins have been frustrating all year - right now I'm in 5th (5 behind 2nd place - guy with 8 SP - 2 ahead of 6th).
With so many variables involved it's hard for me to figure out which way is best - stick with the SP to hopefully help in K's and wins or stick with the RP to keep the ratios down. Thoughts?
