Which relief pitcher gets alot of holes? Should I choose Morneau or Joe Mauer in my 12 team keeper league?

Juan Rincon for the Twins gets a lot of holds.  Even though I like both, I would keep Mauer since there are fewer quality catchers out there than first basemen.  It will be tough for Morneau to duplicate his 2006 numbers, while Mauer's numbers might get even better...

Go with your best stuff.  Blow them away.  Roger Clements or Greg Maddux didn't mess around they went right after the hitter.  \n\nHow many times have you seen a pitcher get to 0-2 then find themselves with pitch count issues a few innings later....

I would definately grab Billingsley. He's one of the top pitching prospects in LA since Fernando Valenzuela. He has a 96 MPH fastball, a sick sider and a good curveball. He's got tremendous strikeout potential and is on a solid Dodger's club that will provide wins.\n\nOf course, he's only 21, and he could be erratic early in his career, much like Cole Hamels, but his upside is definately well worth the risk. \n\nAs for who to drop, Gil Meche has been surprisingly good, throwing a complete game his last time out, so I would definately hold onto him. Between Davis and Snell, either of them could be dropped. They are both decent pitchers, with potential to be very good but so far they havent shown it, so you can live without either of them.

Look on the waiver wire for hidden gems and trade Chris Shelton for a consistent fanstasy producer while Shelton has such a high value. Don't worry yet, their are still many more weeks. If your league plays SP's, RP's, then just P's for the P's use relief pitchers who appear in more games than starters

Not bad, but, you can't play Howard, Delgado, and Hafner all at the same time.  I would trade one of them and either Ramirez or Chavez (both 3Bers) for better middle infielders.

Do you ever look at your team. Clemens hasn't pitched yet this season and will probebly retire so bench him until he makes a decision and put another pitcher in. Wagner is good but look for better relief. Starting is better. Get a new infielders except Thome. Look on waivers you wont believe what you'll find if you look hard enough. Always look to upgrade, never be satisfied. Don't panic, you really shouldn't even look at your standings or make any major moves until late May

Players to drop: Ausmus, Rodriguez (look for a 5era when all is said and done, last night for example), Tomko, why do people love this guy he is pathetic. You have hardly any speed, and one closer. That's 20% of all stats you are throwing out, so you start each week unless someone goes off 0-2. I like most of your pitchers, I would pick up at least 2 more SP, you have way too many roster spots for offense. 5 guys on bench, I could see 2 maybe 3, but I would much rather have 3 more starter/closers. I hope you are not playing Phillips over Kent right now.You need speed plug Roberts in for Dye, Dye rests as much as Bonds now. Trade too much good talent wasting away on bench, trade Tracy, Hawpe for some pitching, they are not doing you any good on the pine.

roger clemens. the rocket. hes the best active pitcher all-time, and current, even though he hasnt pitched a major league game yet this year. by the end of the year he'll prove hes still the best. the best reliever is jonathon papelbon

DONT DO IT and ill tell u why ,scot shields is one of the top relievers in the game look at his ERA and he appers very often for the angels Greg maddux is on a bad team which explains his huge slump he started off 5-0 then 1-5 that adds up to a medeocure pitcher and u alredy have one medeocure pitcher in Aaron cook casey jansen is a decent reliever but u alredy got a better one in shields whatever u do do not get rid of fernando rodney hes on a good team and will get in crucial games more because hes reliable and has proven himself therefore he will get more chances to pitch Aaron sele just overall sucks he hasnt done anything in a long time all the guys ur getting are terrible everyone ur giving are way way better and have proven themselves u would be a idiot to make that trade

Chacon for sure.  \n\nI suspect that you want to pick one of them from free agents.  Chacon's starter job is a little more secure than Ponson, but maybe won't last long.  When Pavano comes back, he will start.  So Chacon and Jaret Wright will compete for the fifth spot in the rotation.  Most likely Wright would get the job because of his huge contract.  \n\nPicking either of them is not good choice, because you will lose ERA and WHIP.  You can try someone from Giants - NL west is very weak and has more pitcher-friendly ballparks.

I just saw your team and you don't need Cano who is the same as Castillo and Garland isn't a great pitcher. U have good pitchers, but not great pitchers, so trade Helton for Tejada cause Guillen sucks. and trade Hafner for Peavy or Santana or another great pitcher.

think of it like this, is Carlos Lee worth trading for Roy Halladay? Is Carlos Lee worth trading for Kevin Millwood? Well you better have a good Outfield and need some pitching to accept this one

A. Francouer is not having a fluke season. He is having a sophmore slump.\nB. Neither is Swisher.  This is a sign of things to come.  Billy Beane has always believed that he would be great player and now he is.\n \nShelton is a fluke\nMaddux isn't\nWe'll have to see about Arroyo. I wish the Bosox hadn't traded him!

The question is, who would you replace in the rotation.\n\nJohnson, Mussina, and Wang are locks. I would certainly leave Chacon alone in the 4 spot. I guess you could make a case for replacing Wright, but they have paid him an awful lot of money to not start. You also have Pavano and Small coming back soon. I would leave Proctor where he is in the pen and let him come in and throw his hesat for an inning or two at most.\n\nNot to mention you gotta leave a spot open for the rocket \n;-)

Buchholz isn't a bad replacement at all.  He's better than the guys suggested in the previous answers.  He should be in the Astros rotation for the forseeable future.  He was also a highly regardeed prospect in the Phillies system coming to Houston in the Billy Wagner trade.  Check if Justin Verlander or Daniel Cabrera is available in your league but if not I'd recommend Buchholz.  Don't pick up Bannister as he's on the DL too.

I like playing head to head leagues because it's more personal to a face a different owner each week.\nYou need to have a balance of both, but good relief pitching always seems to be in short supply.\nKeep up with player news from around the league, especially injuries so you can pickup backups of injured player to strengthen weak spots on your own roster.

Johnson will finish strong and Ichiro is consistent in several categories. Dunn does mean power, but he still strikes out way too much. I'd say you should have held on.
