I've spent my money like crazy, always thinking that when I find what I'm looking for I'd stop. But its been constant churn, spent $2 on Fiers last week, can only spend $1 each on 2 more players. I'd like to pick up one this week as I'm actually playing a man short of a full roster when I DL'd Ryu last week and activated Straily (mistake!) and now Straily is back down and dead to me anyway.
I've been in a massive tailspin the past month that has taken me from clear frontrunner to just about being passed and at this point thinking about how to hold onto 2nd when I fall out of 1st. I picked up Coghlan and Santana a couple weeks ago for AVG help. Coghlan hasnt been very good since then unfortunately.
Cats I can lose up to 1 point: ERA, WHIP, W, S, SB, HR, R - out of these only HR and SB are likely. The surging 2nd place team is right behind me in runs.
Cat I can lose 2 points: RBI
Cat I can lose a crap load of points: AVG
Cats I can gain a point: ERA, WHIP, K, W - The ratios will be tough to gain a point but possible.
Lineup issues:
1. I have to drop someone today with Phillips being activated. One of Infante, Alcantara, Coghlan. AA makes the most sense due to his AVG but if all he does is hit .250 ROS his SB and HR will make up for it.
2. Holes in my lineup: CDavis, Beltran, Choo, Coghlan, Infante/Phillips/Alcantara. I could replace one or more with one of these guys:
Snider, Travis LF | PIT - loses PT starting today when McCutchen returns?
Arcia, Oswaldo LF | MIN - AVG could kill me but that HR would help
Jay, Jon CF | STL - AVG would be huge help and I could take him out vs LHP
Inciarte, Ender LF | ARI
Willingham, Josh LF | KC
Venable, Will RF | SD
Gyorko, Jedd 2B | SD
Schoop, Jonathan 2B | BAL
Crawford, Carl LF | LAD
Vargas, Kennys 1B | MIN
And there's a bunch more but they are all pretty much interchangeable.
I could perhaps wait on picking up a bat for 10-14 days and instead grab a RP now. Storen is available but I think Clip closes first if Soriano is replaced. Clip, Quack, and Familia are rostered already. I could go with Giles, or Cook, or maybe Joba for an outside chance at a few saves.

I don't see any clear hitting upgrades that would necessitate a move unless you want to roll the dice and replace Coghlan with Vargas or maybe Willingham if you need power.
