Who should I pick up/what do I need?

[CubColtPacer]

I am in a 5x5 league with OBP instead of AVG, 10 team league. My lineup as it currently stands is

 

C: Russell Martin

1B: Prince Fielder

2B: Brian Roberts

SS: Jose Reyes

3B: Garrett Atkins

OF: Adam Dunn

OF: Brad Hawpe

OF: Jason Bay

Util: Travis Hafner

Util: Nick Swisher

Bench: Orlando Hudson, Curtis Granderson

 

SP: Jake Peavy

SP: A.J. Burnett

RP: George Sherrill

RP: Brandon Lyon

P: C.J. Wilson

P: Chris Young

P: Brett Myers

Bench: Rich Hill, Pedro Martinez

 

I have limits of 162 games per lineup spot, and 1250 innings from my pitchers.

 

I have 1 open roster spot now with a trade I made recently. What should I add?

The best 7 hitters by Yahoo's rankings are Andruw Jones, Shane Victorino, Juan Pierre, Matt Kemp, Jacoby Ellesbury, Carlos Delgado, and Edwin Encarnacion.

 

The best 2 starters are Liriano and Cain, and then a big dropoff after that.

 

The best relievers are Borowski and Brian Wilson, and I doubt I'll want to go that direction.

 

So what does my team need most? Thanks for any help that can be given.

PECOTA likes Liriano better on a per-innings basis than any of your starters but Peavy.

Did the rest of the league go on auto-draft?

No, but I did take advantage of some people panicking early to pick up somebody like Myers from free agency. Also somebody really panicked and dropped Granderson because my league has no DL spot, and he thought he could pick him back up in a week or two before he came back. I also made a trade to get Martin and Fielder (for Vlad, Carlos Pena, and Soto). In shallow leagues like this, I like to make 3 for 2 type trades to get better starters because I know I can find talent in free agency.

Yeah, that doesnt seem like a very fun league to be a part of.

 

I'd say since you don't really have any holes go with who you think has the biggest upside. Also, with that amount of quality on the waiver wire (and since the rest of your league might be dumb), try to trade quantity for quality.

A friend asked me to join. I think about 7 owners are pretty good, and the other 3 are making some poor reactionary choices. I hope that they will either get better from the experience this year or get replaced next year.

Same thing happened in one of my leagues, and we have a dl spot. It was one of my best friends, and I don't know wtf he was thinking. I tried to make a waiver claim for him, but someone ahead of me got him...
