Someone dropped Carpenter...but who do I drop?

Postby djxskillz » Wed Mar 11, 2009 5:21 pm

I really want Chris Carpenter and he was just dropped for some reason (no idea why...hes having a great spring so far). Anyways, I know for sure someone in my league is going to use their waiver on him but I have the #1 Waiver. I believe Carpenter is someone that is risky but could potentially provide huge dividends. So now the problem. Who do I drop? Right now since I have 5 closers, I think I should drop either Corpas or Percival. What do you guys think?

My vote is Mike Gonzalez or Wandy Rodriguez ... but make sure you feel confident in Carpenter before doing so. If so, those would be the guys IMO.

Wandy. He's 30, and in a keeper, he's not a big loss. He's always on the cusp of being dropped anyways.

Keep the closers--they're worth too much to just drop.

Why would you cut Gonzalez, he's closing? He's a better pitcher then Corpas or Percival.

Don't cut Wandy. He has a 8.6 DOM rate.

Corpas isn't closing. Cut Corpas.
