what is the difference between a SP and just a P

league of 11

Answer 1

Your position-players are solid, but I think your starting pitchers are kind of weak. Peavy is sweet, and Johnson looks solid . . . but Igawa is unproven, Verlander is a huge risk considering how he finished up last year, Penny is ok but has a low ceiling (I think last year was an aberration in terms of wins, and how he finished really shows that).

I would try packaging Verlander and someone else for an upgrade at starting pitcher.

Oh, and the difference between SP and P is that the SP-position can only be filled by starting pitcher, and the P-position can be filled by either a relief or starting-pitcher . . . i.e. if you need to start a pitcher that day, you can play him at P, but the rest of the time it may be occupied by a reliever, if you have more relievers than RP-spots

Answer 2

yes it isa pretty good team. I would watch Verlander closely. Package him up and try to improve your pitching or 3 base. Ensberg had a bad year last year. He is not in the top 15 third basemen in FANTASY. Igawa might be a sleeper (good) he has the yankee lineup behind him.

Answer 3

That's not to shabby for a 11 team league. You did well.

Keep an eye on Bobby Crosby. He can go on very long cold streaks.

Answer 4

Decent depending on how big your league is. Moises is past his prime though.

Answer 5

i would say it is pretty good just try to get at least one more power hitter
