Prince Fielder for pitching?

[CubColtPacer]

I have a guy in my league who is very interested in my starting pitching. I have 5 starters-Roy Halladay, Rich Hill, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Cole Hamels, and Ben Sheets. I looked at his team, and the only guy that I could really use is Prince Fielder (he has Pujols playing 1B, so Fielder is in his utility slot-I have Adrian Gonzalez, and 1 of them would be in my utility slot). He still hasn't picked which pitcher he wants.

 

So

1) Rank my pitchers please

2) Which ones would you give up for Fielder?

Roy Halladay

Cole Hamels

Daisuke Matsuzaka,

Ben Sheets

Rich Hill

 

I would have placed Sheets over Dice-K but he's always hurt these days.

 

Are these the only pitchers you have? I would trade Sheets or Hill for Fielder.

I'd start with Hill, then Sheets, and see where it goes. I'd try to offer one of those 2 and maybe another player that you don't really need, rather than parting with Hamels, Dice K, or Halladay.

Those are the only pitchers I have, but my league has a strict start limit (120 starts for the whole season) and I'm at 42 through 2 months, which is on pace, and I've basically had 4 pitchers that entire time (I picked Sheets up in late April, and Halladay went down a couple of weeks later). There also are a few decent pitchers on the FA wire that I can pick up to start against certain matchups to get to 120 if one of my starters gets hurt.

There was an interesting piece by the Talented Mr. Roto that showed that Sheets and Ian Snell have been virtually identical since the ASB last year. Take it for what it's worth.

Hamels

 

 

Halladay

 

and then the rest

 

I wouldn't have a problem trading any of the rest, but try in this order...Hill, Matsuzaka, Sheets.

 

Sheets lack of Ks is very very troubling. Although Halladay has been fairly lackluster in that category the last couple years. I am a big fan of Fielder, so I'd trade anyone but Hamels for him. Hamels obviously has the injury risk, but hes got the highest upside.
