Marmol or Scherzer for My last Keeper?

Postby wackadoodle » Thu Jan 01, 2009 11:57 pm

I'm in a ten team NL only league. Six keepers each year. My first five keepers are set but my last one is down to either Max Scherzer or Carlos Marmol. Thoughts?

Does your league use holds or saves or both?

It's been a few years since i've played NL only, but as I remember closers go fast. I can only imagine this is even more true in a keeper league. I'd go with marmol.

Scherzer only threw 109 total innings last year between AAA/bigs, so in 2009 you'll probably get 139 max.
Worth your while waiting for him to go 139/169/199? Maybe next year. ;-D

Scherzer ;-D The only closer I'd keep over him would be FRod, UNLESS........10 other closers are typically kept yr to yr.

In a likely DBacks playoff contention year? I doubt they'd be quite as conservative with him.
