Sit/start advice for Berrios and Hill in a 12 teamer?

Vegas hates both starts but I'm thinking I just trot them out anyways.

general advice/strategy question:

in a 5x5 h2h dynasty, 3 OF, 2 Util spots -- an interesting fold is that next year we're adding a 3rd util spot to keep in mind. and really deep benches, so pitching is at a premium. i currently have:

brantley, judge, bellinger, yoenis, l cain, j bradley, and heyward.

so right now im basically rotating cain/bradley in my last util spot. should i be trying to move one of yoenis or cain for something? or hold pat and be content with depth right now.

Goldy for Scherzer fair? I'm crushing every offensive category but really need a pitching ace 6x6 with obp and tb instead of ba and k/9 instead of strikeouts but losses on pitching side. I still have votto I offered him but he countered with goldy. I lose some stolen bases but i have trea turner and pollock coming back plus marte stashed

votto is more than fair, i'd probably draw the line there.

at the same time, to be contrarian, if the loss of goldy is negligible due to your depth then the gains from scherzer will get you more points.

Thats a fair deal.
In a vacuum I'd prefer Goldy, but in the situation you described it works out for both sides.

Wrist injuries really can ruin players seasons, especially if they don't let it heal/recover fully.

Oh hell no, did my post give you the impression I was gonna make a rational decision?

Hill gonna get dropped next time I need to make a pickup. Without question.

yeah, only have him in 1 league (thank goodness), but fairly sure I'll drop him if I need the spot now. It's really bizarre how he's become so hittable

It was even more bizarre how he became nearly unhittable for those 24 starts over '15-'16.
Everything aside from that little stretch is just vintage crappy Hill.
Basically 140 innings of non-suckiness vs an entire career or ineptitude. Not surprising at all imo.

Something to note: Francisco Rodriguez coming into the 8th with a 3-2 lead. Could be slowly moved back into the 9th (or maybe just stay in the 8th?), but Tigers could try to build up value and move him back into role if they become sellers to try and dump him.

edit: lol he blew the lead, jk dont worry

May pitches: 117 Fourseam, 2 Slider, 126 Curve
June pitches: 116 Fourseam, 15 slider, 64(!!) Curve

I would assume curveball was his best pitch, using less of it is causing less outs, and he's becoming hittable again. They need to just let him use his curveball a lot and endure blisters imo.

Ya hill's done as a useful starter and should be used out of the pen. It's strange they're resistant to that notion since their rotation is basically 6-7 deep currently

****ing blister ****face making me look foolish

Anyone worried about Sanchez? Just submitted claim on Martin just incase. This has been the most brutal season for me in injuries by far, ever.

If Sanchez puts up an entire season of this production where does he get drafted next year? A late first round pick? I could see first 2 rounds easily

Won't happen, due to not full playing time. If he played C/DH and played every day, sure.
