ok how to improve

1. drop some of your hitting for pitching (look for sleepers or prospects who might start the season in the MLB like homer bailey) and i would definately hold on to alex gordon, kendrick, and an extra of for now (so drop 2)

2. to fix the closer problem : if there are no closers left consider teams that havent decided their closer and watch them closely (red sox, reds) and maybe pick up potential canditates or pick up elite set up men who could take over if the closer falters (otsuka, zumaya, broxton, someone on the giants, marlins, devil rays, royals, o's, braves(you got that one) , diamonbacks, cubs, cards, astros)
I know that was a long list but those teams might change closers in mid season and thats where you are going to get your saves.

3. zach grienke...... enough said.

What about Brian Wilson in SF? He's set to get the job if Armando falters.

Jonathon Broxton in LA?
Kerry Wood?
Seth McClung?
Matt Capps in the 'Burgh?
Roberto Hernandez will get saves in Cleveland if Borowski doesn't produce...
Jorge Julio?
Adam Wainwright?

[jtrain19]

otsuka- gone
broxton- gone
zumaya- gone
i tried for all of them.. just waited a sec too long on them..

baez- gone
wainwright- gone

howry, caps and nolasco i like and i can look at them.. just think i should wait to grab one of them...

i dont like wood.. but wilson sounds good.. i like their rotation

[jtrain19]

wilson and capps are gone... as is mcclung..

its wood, hernandez or julio...

[njknights]

id get one or two because these guys are gunna grab them up when their closer falters a tiny bit and theres only like 5 left

[jtrain19]

i waivered for hernandez....

[Super Manny]

A lot of the pre-season publications and news sites are raving about Wood's potential as a closer. Rotoworld even lists him as the favorite for the job out of ST. I picked him up in the late rounds of my draft.

Potential-wise...

Wood > Hernandez

...and it's not by a little. I'd also take Brian Wilson before I'd go after Hernandez.
