"Hiding" pitchers in the rotation -- can it work?

And, I'm not an expert on it, from what I hear, it works best if you only set your per game starters for the upcoming series and leave the other series blank ...[/quote:96401f8013]

Interesting, I'd never heard that. . . Anyone have any thoughts as to whether this is true, or why?[/quote:96401f8013]

The real reason to only set your rotation from series to series would be if you wanted your good SP/RPs to also relieve. Speaking from experience, if HAL sees those pitchers slated to start in the next series, he won't bring them in to relieve in the current series.

If you have a good bullpen, then it's not an issue. Set the per-game starters as far out as you can.

Just wondering, why do you have backups for guys that cannot be injured? (Fox, Banks, McCormick) Get nickel guys and put the money to use elsewhere.

Also, why Hallahan, he's tying up $0.160 in cash. Trade him in for a nickel starter.

Finally, you have TOO much bullpen for this type of team. Baumgartner is the likely guy to go IMHO.

Making these moves would free up about $4.00 mill in cash which you could use to upgrade your starting staff further.

Just my $0.02 cents ........ Good luck with the team.

I have Leslie and Maz as PH's mostly, but if, say, Jackson in LF gets hurt Rose can play LF and I can put Maz at 3B. I think I'll need the RP's.

As for Hallahan (a favorite of mine), I think he might come in handy at a park like Baker (in my div.) since he's not especially HR prone.
