Pitchers with 2 starts to deploy only in leagues that don't count qualitative stats:
SP(6) With no moves left, we're stuck with Oswalt, Schilling, Randy, Wood, Beckett, and Affeldt. Aside from flipping Burnitz for Wells, our bench remains Overbay, Crede, Cintron, Podsednik, and Crawford.
Shadow of the Umpire(11th lg; 111th div; 2865th overall) C Javy Lopez 940 C Jason Varitek 680 1B David Ortiz 800 1B Mark Teixeira 760 2B Alfonso Soriano 1930 2B Mark Loretta 820 3B Mike Lowell 1230 3B Hank Blalock 850 SS Alex Rodriguez 2010 SS Brian Roberts 610 OF Carlos Beltran 1760 OF Jeromy Burnitz 810 OF Melvin Mora 740 OF Brad Wilkerson 690 OF Adam Dunn 690 OF Miguel Cabrera 570 DH Orlando Hudson 550 DH Victor Martinez 450 SP Curt Schilling 1610 SP Randy Johnson 1550 SP Roy Oswalt 1200 SP Kerry Wood 1190 SP Josh Beckett 990 SP Jeremy Affeldt 650 RP Eric Gagne 1890 RP Octavio Dotel 1250 RP Brad Lidge 830 RP Joe Nathan 720 Total Salary for Week 23: 28770
SP(6) Oswalt, Sheets, and Lieber join Hermanson, and then Santana and Randy seem slightly stronger than Schilling or Clemens. Burnitz and Castilla replace Crawford and Lawton while Hafner, Clayton, and Wells remain benched.
Umpire: The Masquerade(6th lg; 50th div; 382nd overall) C Jason Varitek 680 C Victor Martinez 450 1B David Ortiz 800 1B Lyle Overbay 400 2B Mark Loretta 820 2B Orlando Hudson 550 3B Scott Rolen 1460 3B Hank Blalock 850 SS Alex Rodriguez 2010 SS Juan Uribe 600 OF Bobby Abreu 1630 OF Manny Ramirez 1420 OF Lance Berkman 1390 OF Jeromy Burnitz 810 OF Melvin Mora 740 OF Miguel Cabrera 570 DH Vinny Castilla 760 DH Craig Wilson 620 SP Randy Johnson 1550 SP Roy Oswalt 1200 SP Johan Santana 1000 SP Ben Sheets 870 SP Jon Lieber 840 SP Dustin Hermanson 540 RP Jason Isringhausen 1290 RP Danny Kolb 940 RP Brad Lidge 830 RP Joe Nathan 720 Total Salary for Week 23: 26340
SP(6) No starts: Schilling, Randy, Vazquez, Wood, Brown. While we don't mind running Hermanson for only two games, Schmidt's out of the question, and then Hudson seems superior to Pedro given his current QA log and the advantage of pitching at home. Along with Pierre for Vernon Wells, we'll flip Crede for Victor Martinez since Crede plays an extra two games in a much better hitters' park. Fullmer, Kaz Matsui, Crawford, and Podsednik remain benched.
The Umpire Hunter(17th lg; 437th overall) C Mike Piazza 990 C Jason Varitek 680 1B Lyle Overbay 400 1B Mark Teixeira 760 2B Alfonso Soriano 1930 2B Mark Loretta 820 3B Scott Rolen 1460 3B Hank Blalock 850 SS Alex Rodriguez 2010 SS Alex Cintron 450 OF Albert Pujols 1840 OF Carlos Beltran 1760 OF Juan Pierre 1470 OF Brad Wilkerson 690 OF Adam Dunn 690 OF Miguel Cabrera 570 DH Joe Crede 600 DH Orlando Hudson 550 SP Mike Mussina 1380 SP Tim Hudson 1320 SP Roy Oswalt 1200 SP Josh Beckett 990 SP Jeremy Affeldt 650 SP Dustin Hermanson 540 RP Eric Gagne 1890 RP Octavio Dotel 1250 RP Danny Kolb 940 RP Joe Nathan 720 Total Salary for Week 23a: 29400
SP(6) While we nearly added Oswalt, the mild uncertainty regarding his double convinced us to hold off spending our last move. Schilling, Randy, Wood, Santana, Beckett, and Hermanson will comprise our rotation. We also nearly moved Helton into the lineup, but since even swapping him for Soriano would push us over the cap, and Colorado only plays five at home while Soriano enjoys seven in Texas, we're making no hitting changes.
The Umpire Chronicles(10th lg; 868th overall) C Brian Schneider 1100 C Johnny Estrada 1000 1B Derrek Lee 2690 1B Mark Teixeira 1550 2B Mark Loretta 1650 2B Orlando Hudson 1420 3B Mike Lowell 2380 3B Hank Blalock 2020 SS Orlando Cabrera 2460 SS Brian Roberts 1260 OF Albert Pujols 3350 OF Carlos Beltran 3060 OF Manny Ramirez 2960 OF Adam Dunn 1950 OF Brad Wilkerson 1870 OF Hideki Matsui 1800 DH Alfonso Soriano 3060 DH Miguel Cabrera 1600 SP Curt Schilling 3090 SP Randy Johnson 2900 SP Kerry Wood 2880 SP Josh Beckett 2000 SP Johan Santana 2170 SP Dustin Hermanson 1280 RP John Smoltz 2800 RP Octavio Dotel 2400 RP Brad Lidge 1730 RP Joe Nathan 1420 Total Salary for Week 23: 59850
We're adding El Duque this week to give us a fourth double; he seems slightly stronger than Burnett and a safer option than Peavy. He also costs less than any other pitcher we own, giving us room to run another top position player.
SP(6) Santana joins Oswalt, Clement, Sheets, Hermanson, and Hernandez. While Victor Martinez, Hafner, Mike Young, Kaz Matsui, and Abreu remain benched, Manny and Burnitz sub for Guillen and Bay, and then Castilla replaces Overbay.
Umpire in Brooklyn(1st lg; 71st overall) C Jason Varitek 1710 C Johnny Estrada 1000 1B David Ortiz 1980 1B Mark Teixeira 1550 2B Marcus Giles 1740 2B Mark Loretta 1650 3B Adrian Beltre 2090 3B Hank Blalock 2020 SS Nomar Garciaparra 2340 SS Carlos Guillen 1640 OF Manny Ramirez 2960 OF Jeromy Burnitz 2100 OF Adam Dunn 1950 OF Hideki Matsui 1800 OF J.D. Drew 1690 OF Miguel Cabrera 1600 DH Barry Bonds 3520 DH Vinny Castilla 1610 SP Roy Oswalt 2560 SP Matt Clement 2460 SP Ben Sheets 2300 SP Johan Santana 2170 SP Dustin Hermanson 1280 SP Orlando Hernandez 1180 RP John Smoltz 2800 RP Francisco Cordero 2080 RP Brad Lidge 1730 RP Joe Nathan 1420 Total Salary for Week 23: 54930
