Pitching is the most challenging part of fantasy baseball. It would be easy to spend a ton of money on my pitching staff in an auction. I could build a strong base in ERA, WHIP and strikeouts, which would give me room for a mistake or two in the decision-making at the backend of my starting rotation. The downside comes trying to build a competitive offense with fewer dollars invested.
There is no way of trading your pitching for hitting in the high-stakes market. It’s challenging to finish midpack in all five pitching categories, never mind winning 66% of the needed pitching points.
