Svinky's Low Whip/No Wins Strategy for Baseball

Well, it seems to be working. 

My strategy in rotisserie baseball this season was to blow off starting pitching entirely.  Since our league does not have a minimum innings pitched criteria and we are a 12 team league (standard 5x5), I figured that the eighth inning guys (Daniel Bard, Mike Adams, Koji Uehara) would bring a lot of value to me.  And only me. 

In addition, they are easily replaced.  For instance, if Uehara goes into a rut, then a guy like Antonio Bastardo was available. 

That said, timing is important, too.  Being able to pick up a Bastardo when Madson went down, would give me not only a solid ERA and WHIP guy, but another handful of Saves.
