I just dont get the point of top bench guys when I could build a monster rotation.

because in a H2H league, when you go into a week and you map out your starters, and all 3 of your top pitchers have good matchups(you'll pitch them regardless of matchup anyway), you aren't going to want to risk pitching Brandon Morrow against the Yankees or Red sox, for instance, or Luebke against a good hitting team.

you will only throw those guys later in the week if you need them to win a category. At least that's how I have successfully played my pitching for years.

with that being said, there is not much difference in Morrow/Luebke and the other pitchers i listed taken later in the draft.

You just get more 'run' out of hitters, even if they are on your bench. They'd be more valuable than pitchers you might not even start. Being 5 or 6 deep in a H2H league is pointless, especially if you are so in love with your top 3.
