Pitchers: Qualls, Hanrahan, Parra, Francisco, Devine, Ziegler, Chris Perez, Oliver Perez, Snell, Zumaya, mcgee, homer bailey, corpas
I think I should get a closer...

Parra has the talent to have a huge breakout. I don't see Ziegler as the permanent closer option in Oakland...and Devine was lights out to end the 08 season. Iannetta would be a solid insurance plan in case V Mart goes down again.
based on the variety i am guessing this is 100% preference. My lineup is full (anyone draftred would be benched) so I'm thinking more towards pitching. I thought Chris Perez would be good, followed by Manny Parra. Anyone agree? I dont really want to take Devine because there is no indication on who is closing there...
I would rank them like this (since you say you want pitching and that makes sense):
1 Devine 2 Perez 3 Parra
I really think Devine will be the closer and will put up monster numbers. I think Perez numbers will be a little lower, but he will get saves. I think Parra could have a huge breakout year. Any of the three are good options, though.

Milledge and Iannetta still seem heads above those closers. Vmart has some risk, Iannetta a safety net. Milledge could easily pass Maybin. If i took a closer, probably
Devine Qualls Francisco
