Drop Smoltz for which RP (Closer) / SP?

Postby the izzy » Sun Mar 22, 2009 9:09 pm

So, in most of my leagues, I've been taking Smotlz in the last rd to throw on the DL. I did that in a 10 team league that drafted yesterday. Problem is, I also snagged ARod in the 7th rd and forgot about him. Can't really hold 2 DL players for 10+ weeks w/ only 1 DL spot.

I'm thinking of parting ways w/ Smoltz. Here are a few FA closers still available. Should I drop Smoltz and use my #6 WW pick on any of these guys? It's important to note that most people hold a lot of SP as we use IP as a category. Another option is to just wait until one hits the DL and move them and then use the open spot on any RP/SP that is left.

T. Hoffman
F. Francisco
F. Rodney
J. Devine
Ziegler
C. Perez
T. Percival
Sherrill (C. Ray drafted)
Arredondo
Motte
JJ Putz

Pitching Cats: W, K, ERA, WHIP, SV, IP
My pitching
SP: Felix, Gallardo, Javier Vazquez, Bedard, Harang, Wang, Carmona
RP: M. Gonzales, C. Qualls, H. Bell

You play in a strange legue where closers go undrafted. Pick up Francisco. Drop Smoltz. Hoffman is also worhty, but he may also start the season hurt.
