      dude, your SP sucks. heres a way to evaluate it. i took your best 4 SP's and looked up thier rating among SP's according to eric karabell's top 60 pitching list. if you take each's SP rating # and compare yours to other teams, yours sucks. your 1-5 are rated (10verlander, 19lincicum, 39penny, 57 bannister, 59owings). if you add together your #1-4 it equals 127 and your 1-5=184. these suck.
      in my 12 team 5x5 i have the most pitching points and my 1-4=111 and 1-5=154. the guy right behind me in pitching has a 1-4 of 108 and a 1-5 of 159. this is somewhat unscientific, but you can see that you are WAY behind both of us. if you do this in your league, you will get a good but rough idea of how good your sp stacks up but it doesnt look good, especially with verlander's ratings in free-fall.

        Dude your SP doesn't suck. It's along season and the warmth hasn't even come yet. Verlander - 15 wins easily. Bannister- 10 - 15. Penny 15 - 20. This freak Whitey has no idea what he's talking. AROD is hurt and Ortiz has been in a slump, but coming around. Dont trade any of your guys until maybe june or july. Then you'll really know how these guys are going to do in the season. By the way. Do you have anyone else in your league? Your team is FREAKING STACKED

        are you retarded? that is clearly a preseason ranking. look at lincecum's stats this year. pretty sure he isnt the 19th best in the game. more like 4 or 5th. and most of your team is slumping so i would wait a while and see if your offense starts gettin it together

      well, i see you didnt pay any attention to the sage advice; dont pay for saves. (ill assume) you drafted paco rodriguez in the 4th (or so) round and wagner in around the 8th round? thats a heavy investment in saves. remember that thier ratios and k's dont help much because they dont pitch many innings. my basic rule is dont draft any closers until you have around 8 hitters and 2 SP's. since the draft iv added bettancourt, bj ryan and fuentes to t jones drafted in the 15th round and im right in the middle of the saves lead, using only 1 draft pic to do it. remember that in the future.
      the way out in my opinion is to trade paco or wagner for SP help.

      Be patient, grasshopper. You have a good team. Don't panic. It's a marathon, not a 100 meter dash. Whoever is winning at the 2 mile mark will not necessarily be winning at the 26th mile.

      Good luck.

      Oh, and be patient.
