How comfortable would you be with this rotation?
12 team H2H keeper league, keep 5 players, 29 roster spots.

Cobb
Gerrit Cole
Wainwright
Carrasco
Fernandez
Keuchel
Smyly
Liriano
Gausman
Pomeranz

Smyly has shoulder tendinitis and just started playing catch again, Pomeranz does not have a guaranteed spot, and Gausman is a complete lotto ticket. Fernandez obviously wont be back until midseason.

Before I list my entire lineup (its probably one of the top 3 in the league), would you pursue a trade for Harvey, giving up my Pedroia + one of my bottom 4 SP?
Or would you be happy with the staff for now?

fwiw waiver wire 2B include guys like Miller, Phillips, Prado.

No doubt. Sending off a fading second baseman along with some pitching depth is a no brainer. I don't know if the other person will do it, though, since Harvey is lighting it up these days.

You don't have the early round ace but you have a couple of guys that might put up ace numbers at a discount. You also have some impressive depth. Aside from Wainwright I think this was a great draft w/o knowing where you picked them.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
Im not a Pedroia believer at all, but he slipped so far that I felt like he was the best value available where I took him.
The rest of my hitters dont have a ton of speed, but should be pretty strong in a 6x6 league that counts OBP and TB:

C Santana
1B Abreu
2B Pedroia
3B Beltre
SS Segura
OF McCutchen
OF Dickerson
OF Polanco
UT Moss
UT Pederson
BN Kang, Pearce

So you think I can sustain the drop in R and OBP to a waiver 2B in order to upgrade to Harvey then?

I think you could trade to get Harvey and flip another high ranked pitcher to get an upgrade at 2B. Get the better player now and, if you dip in stats because of the loss of Pedroia, you could easily get someone respectable back with the chips you have to offer.
