Closers

Postby Dan Charette » Tue Dec 16, 2008 8:36 pm

Hi all, I have a slow draft that has started. We kept 10 in a 10 team league. A few closers were kept , and now a couple have already been drafted.
Papelbon
Nathan
Rodriguez
Rivera
Jenks
Valverde
Lidge
Soria
F.Cordero

Those are already taken. My question is who would be the 3 next best closers. I'm guessing something like Broxton, Ryan , and Wood.
You Cubs fans , will Marmol or Gregg be the closer .
I would welcome some thoughts on some other good bets. Thanks,

Dan the Bluesman B-)

I really like Fuentes, and while some people will be cautious because he has yet to be signed to a closer role, I'd be very surprised if he signs somewhere as a set-up guy. He's moving from Colorado and had a great season last year, I'd probably rank him above cordero, valverde and jenks.

After him the next few I'd go are probably Broxton, Capps and Wood.

Gonzalez in Atlanta could be a bit of a sleeper

The consensus seems to be that the Cibs will likely start with Gregg as closer and at some point go to Marmol.
He once hit a ball between my legs so hard that my center-fielder caught it on the fly backing up against the wall.

If Satch (Paige) and I were pitching on the same team, we would clinch the pennant by July fourth and go fishing until World Series time.
