Rivera or Papelbon? For Z or Glavine?

[ThePenguin11]

I've been offered either for Zambrano or Glavine. I can only start 3 pitchers each week and the closer's pretty important. Dempster's killing me right now. It's a 13-team points league that rewards highly for wins and saves. My starters are as follows:

 

Zambrano

Glavine

Felix Hernandez

Cole Hamels

John Patterson

Noah Lowry

Zach Duke

Casey Janssen

Steve Trachsel

Dave Bush

 

Billingsley and Soler are still available free agents who could fill in at SP. What is the ideal trade here, if any?

Take Pap for Glavine.

Yeah I agree, either for Glavine is a steal. Tough to say from here on out who is gonna get more save ops. Could be Mariano given the sad state of affairs in the bronx OF. Meaning they may not win as many games by 4+ runs. Pap has been insane and theres nothing to say he wont continue, but Mariano has been doing it for twice as many years in the majors as Pap has months. Neither is a bad choice but I might lean towards mariano.

Also pick up Billingsley. He's a stud. I'd also look to trade King Felix in a few weeks. The Mariners are probably gonna be shutting him down in August/September when he reaches 200 IP. Just keep an eye on that, and when he reaches 150 or so, send him packing.

 

Also whats the point of having 10 SP if you can only start 3 of them?

Hernandez is on pace to throw less than 200 innings.

Well he did have a pretty rough start to the season. 6 of his first 8 starts lasted 5 or less innings. His last 6, however, have lasted 6 or more innings each. I don't think he's a lock to get to 200 innings, but it's definitely something to think about. You don't want to rely on him as one of your top starters and then not have him for the fantasy playoffs.

Glavine's era is up near 7 this month. Trade Glavine when he still has alot of value
