Ray,Corpas or Ziegler

Postby Pythagoras » Wed Mar 11, 2009 10:23 pm

I could use a 3rd closer for my 10 team non-keeper with 5x5 scoring.

Is there anyone droppable?

I agree you should pick someone up. Having just Nathan and Qualls leaves you a bit weak in the closer position.

Corpas has the most upside. I think Huston Street has the inside track, given his experience and the fact that they signed him as a free agent. However, Street is having a horrible spring. If Corpas can revert to his 2007 form he would be a gem.

Ziegler is going to start as the primary closer or shared closer with Oakland, but Joey Devine may eventually take over the role.

Chris Ray will be the setup man in Baltimore in case Sherrill gets hurt.

You may also want to monitor the situation in Seattle to see if a single closer is selected or if they stick with a committee.

I think you have plenty of depth at SP and your most droppable player is Chris Carpenter. I would stick with Perez right now since this is an odd year and he seems to cycle back and forth between good and bad years.

You might also want to dangle Randy Johnson as trade bait for someone like Heath Bell or Trevor Hoffman. Not sure if those are fair deals.

Good luck.
