Fantasy baseball- championship week advice needed

by acr on Sep 13, 2008 9:48 PM EDT

I may be in the finals of my Sportsline NL only championship this coming week. The scoring is h2h and points. Points are given mainly for wins, saves and to a lesser degree k's. I can start seven pitchers. Which of the following should I go with? I have a few penciled in already-

Aaron Harang vs. Todd Wellemeyer in Cincy

Trevor Hoffman- 3 games at Colorado and 3 at DC

Ted Lilly- against Ben Sheets at home

Braden Looper- against Aroyo in Cincy and Rich Harden in Chicago

Rickey Nolasco- against Brian Moehler in Florida

Roy Oswalt- against Volstad in Florida and Olendorf in Pittsburgh

Edinson Volquez - against Pineiro in Cincy

Joel Hanrahan- 7 games at home (4 against Mets, 3 against SD)

James Parr - against Moyer and Pelfrey both in Atlanta

Chad Qualls- 7 games, 4 at home against SF and 3 at Colorado

Jeff Suppan - at Cincy TBA

Obviously Roy Oswalt gets a start. Maybe Hoffman and Qualls as well. Looper has been nothing special but has two starts although one against Harden. Nolasco and Volquez are both good enough to make the first cut I think- maybe Nolasco more than Volquez. What do you all think? I need seven.

Also, any more hurricanes coming next week?

Lilly

Looks like Lilly has 2 starts now- so he is going to be active..

Me

Focusing on W and SV:

Oswalt, Lilly, Nolasco, Volquez, Hoffman, Hanrahan and Qualls.

If you’re scoring is more favorable towards the two starts, subbing Looper for Hanrahan or Qualls is easily defensible.

here is what I did

went with-
Hoffman
Qualls
Harang
Lilly
Nolasco
Oswalt
Volquez

The thing with Looper is that he does not k that many- so if he has a couple sub-par starts it’s not like you can make up points with k’s. Thanks.

offensively

here is my offense-
C- B. Molina
1b- LaRoche
2b- DeRosa
3b- D. Wright
ss- Hardy (in a slump, I know)
of- Soriano
of- McLouth
of- C. Young
Utility- A. Ramirez cubs

Overall not the worst NL only line-up a person could end up with. I did not luck out on any of the AL players traded to the NL- Manny, Harden, CC, etc. But drafting McLouth and Volquez helped a lot. Also grabbed Nolasco off waivers. Mike Jacobs and Suppan were waiver guys too that helped.
