So I kindof neglected my pitching because i was concentrating on Offense and wanted some suggestions on who i should pursue off the wire (namely RP). Maybe some inside info on who is closing where. Any and all help will be appreciated!
(48) Jeremy Bonderman SP
(88) Justin Verlander SP
(93) Joel Zumaya RP
(128) R Soriana RP
(148) Rich Hill SP
(153) Adam Wainwright RP
17. (168) Ervin Santana SP
19. (188) Dave Bush SP
Available "wire" guys:
E Gagne
J Valverde
R Dempster
J Johnson
O Dotel
M Gonzalez
A Otsuka
S Shields
C Meredith
C James
J Broxton
D Wheeler
H Carrasco
B Howry
C Hensley
F Rodney
S Linebrink
M Capps
So i'm pretty much just looking for some ideas on who i should pick up, or if there are some new names i should look up. Thanks!

Couple of my RP have become starters or set-up men, which is making things even worse.

You can expect a HUGE amount of strikeouts from Bonderman. Same from Verlander but Verlander should end up with more wins. Zumaya is a good relief pitcher. He will have a hand full of great outings, then one or two bad ones. But overall, he's a good relief pickup. STAY AWAY FROM RODNEY!!!!! He'll bring you nothing but trouble.

For right now, the best closers to pick up would be Gagne and Dotel. By season's end, Broxton will have a job and be pitching well, as will Howry and Wheeler.
Dempster and Valverde are ok, but REALLY shaky and will be losing their jobs.
Mike Gonzalez is decent, but Wickman has a reasonably firm hold at the moment on the job.
For starters, I actually like your team a lot. Lots of potential there. Take a look for Freddy Garcia (AL to NL is always good). Also, Joe Blanton is a good sleeper. A's know how to develop talent.

Get Gagnè. If he's healthy, he'll anchor any relief staff. If he doesn't, then you just drop him. That pick is really worth it.
By the way, you really need SP also. I'd check your offense to see if you can trade any position for any kind of pitching.

Eric Gagne, and Octavio Dotel are some of your best guys in that list. Either one of them will light greatly better your pitching.
