2009 Closers Thread (No Game Commentary Please)

[Y`s Guy]

As a Motte owner I grabbed Perez as insurance early and I hope they both combine for 25ish saves on the year...

I am in the same boat. Will relish the HOLDS and SAVES they muster up.

Percival is just terrible.....who gets the 1st shot after Percival???

I would hope for Balfour, but he has been horrendous lately.

right now the only person to look good in that pen is Joe Nelson. They are all playing like crap right now. Balfour was brought in for the 8th, gave up 1 hit, and was pulled because of matchups with the next batter. That doesn't instill confidence that Maddon would use him. I think they will stay with Percy for now. I think Izzy will be an option when he is healthy. He threw a bullpen session today and looked good.

Does Buchholz fit into the Col. closer discussion at all? He should be due to come off the DL soon...

I've got corpas, downs, ray, and perez.... im hoping one of them can secure the job haha

gregg, corpas, downs, balfour, perez..........

If I can 2, or hopefully 3 full-time closers outta this mess, I'll be extremely happy.

I'm in first in 3 out of 5 leagues right now. Second in one, and 5th in the other. Does that count?



PS: These are all private leagues, and two are keepers.

Please smoke on that one.

So can we get a little bit of Moderator deleting/warning action going on?

He's a good pitcher but considering what the Rockies have invested in Street (trade value) and Corpas (contract with options thru 2013) they will get every opportunity to close. It shouldn't work that way but it does.
