I am a fantasy baseball rookie, I drafted without any plan or strategy. I am playing in a ten team, H2H, 5x5 league. I need advice concerning my pitching staff and the way to play them. As I mentioned before, drafting without a plan got me busted with closers, I only own C. Cordero, Reitsma and Weathers, as SP I own a pretty decent staff: P. Martinez, C. Zambrano, C. Lee, B. Myers, R. Clemens, A. Harang and J. Verlander. I was wondering if I can win down the road with this staff just playing all my pitchers smartly, or do I have to trade to change my pitching team a little, or is it adviceable to grab a MR. Please advice me whats the best way to go for my team. Thanks!

Get at least one guy that you can count on that will pitch everyday so you can have some k's everyday from a mr or cl. no your staff is fine besides clemens i wouldnt waste that slot he is holding i would go pick up a pitcher i can give you names of pitchers that are hot as of now but u have a strong staff
You doing fine. So what you should be trying to do right now. well...
1) Reitsma: He is a shaky closer that you shouldn't count on keeping the closer job all season. So you should be trying to trade him if you can.
2) Clemens: Your just wasting a spot on him. Not knowing when he'll come back if at all or knowing if he'll be any value if he does.Just cut him loose he has no value right now.
You could pick up Akinori Otsuka (if he isn't already. he just took over the closer job in Texas)
3) Verlander: he is a good pitcher and he is hot but he is not experenced enough to keep on pitching at the leval he has been pitching at. So his value is at as high as it is going to get. So you should be trying to see what you can get for him.
