    Roster URGENT I need a starting pitcher for Sunday

    Tied in wins. I need a SP off free agency for Sunday. Strikeouts, ERA, WHIP are irrelevant because they're out of reach.

    Most likely SP to get me the win?

    Jamie Moyer (at Fla)
    Brad Bergesen (vs Tex)
    Russ Ortiz (vs Mil)
    Micah Owings (vs Atl)
    Dana Eveland (vs TB)
    Jose Contreras (vs Tor)
    Sidney Ponson (vs Det)

    Hurry up because my movie starts at 11:10 pm and I need to leave soon.

    Moyer or Ponson, I guess
    New guy against Texas is a bad idea, Owings is a better hitter than pitcher, Russ Ortiz has been dead for 3-4 years, Eveland is worth ignoring
    Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
    Ted

    Oh, and I can't add two SPs because I really have only 1 roster spot available. ****ing Marlins bullpen blew the save for the second night in a row, those bastards.

    Three losses in three outings. Never even came close to winning. It ain't pretty.

    Moyer is 11-1 in 76.1 innings against the Marlins in his career, including 4-1 last year.

    I might go Moyer?

    Then again, Moyer was actually a good pitcher last year.

    Marlins swing away, maybe the slow stuff keeps them off balanced. Worth a shot, he's more reliable than Sir Sidney

    Moyer, then Micah Owings. Definitely not Ponson. Are you kidding me? Fourth, Fifth option...

    Micah Owings is 0-2 with a 5.60 ERA, and is going against a team that just put up 10 runs against the superior Dodgers and Derek Lowe, are you nuts?

    Actually it's the Braves, a team which he is 2-0 with a 3.46 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, and 5/1 K/BB ratio against in two career starts. And is facing a shaky pitcher in this situation, considering Kawakami has struggled with control and, especially, the long ball. At a place like Great American Ballpark, that's not good. Owings also struggles with homers, but there is no one else even close to him out of those pitchers. Ortiz and Ponson can't even be considered, Contreras has been struggling mightily with his control, Eveland isn't a bad matchup, but's he's been struggling this year. Which leaves the rookie, Owings, and Moyer. Which is why Moyer is #1 and Owings #2.

    And the Reds should have a little fight in them to prevent getting swept at home.
