They can helf ERA and WHIP, but at the same time, they can destroy it. They only pitch 2 innings. Even if they give up 1 run or a few hits, the ERA shoots up. 2 runs allowed and its a disaster. And about useless guys on the bench, I think sometimes you have to make exceptions to improve your team for the long-run. The guys I'm talking about are the guys who get hurt, and when your DL is filled. Like Griffey, Cantu, Sheets, etc. Because after all, its a long season, and all you need to do is make the playoffs. And this long-term help can be the X-factor in the playoffs. I agree with everything, especially the revolving door player strategy which I do, lol, EXCEPT picking up middle relief pitchers.

Remember, the Vegas lines are your friends. As far as giving up on spot starting is concerned, I don’t think people should give up on it just because they pick the wrong guy a few times.

Its hard to say whether to drop Shelton without knowing your league size. However, he hasn't been as cold as you might think, raising his average up to 317 after it dipped below 300 a few times in mid-May. I would say that, as a rule, you don't want to drop someone who others in your league will be salivating to add, and Shelton is someone who I would probably still add in both my leagues. The best way to free up that spot is by offering people 2-1 trades. Target a player who you like a bit more than who you are trading away and then offer Shelton or Wilkerson as your throw in. Hopefully Sexson can turn it around and still mash 30 HRs this year. You've got to hang on to him. Wilkerson has been hot recently, and should be a good start at home from here on out.

Would you drop Shelton at this point for this spot? I also have Wilkerson, but he's the streaky, flexible bench guy I want to keep, whereas Shelton is rotting away waiting for Sexson to return to form.

So bad I've given up on it. I had Feliz going this last week also. NL co-player of the week was nice. I am the worst at “spot starting.” So bad I’ve given up on it.

In one of my leagues it's high stakes but weekly transactions and I can't stand that compared to daily moves. I agree with what your saying.
