Personally, I like having a lot of starting pitchers, especially early in the season. Your position players are everyday guys for the most part but you can rotate in and out your SP in order to pad wins and Ks. Once you get a feel for your staff you can make moves to strengthen your offense.
I knew taht it was a bad trade going in, I just needed some sense talked into me.

Depends on your inning limits, but the cold supposedly helps pitchers more than hitters early on. I think there are a lot more good pitchers out there that will be available on the ww than hitters. You do have a couple nice sleepers in Hamilton and Hermida though.
Not to butt in, but to offer a couple suggestions if this were my team , I'd try to get a decent 1B backup (I have Gonzalez on my team too), I'd get rid of Juan Pierre (he's on my team too! Yuck) for a more balanced player, and upgrade catcher. Frank Thomas is worthless at this stage of his career. Tulowitzki, Phillips, and Cabrera would be untouchable. I also wouldn't carry nearly that many SPs, but don't know your inning limits and number of teams in your league.
