Tony Pena or Jon Rauch

Tony Pena
*or*
Jon Rauch

I know they are on the same team and their Holds totals may end up being very close, but if you had to choose one of these two players, which one and why?

I currently have Rauch and Damaso Marte as my Holds men on one of my teams and am considering Pena since he could potentially end up closing sometime this season.

I've been debating dropping Rauch for Pena...or Marte for Pena, but I can't decide since Rauch could be solid as a Holds source. Another available RP I've been considering is Dotel because of his very high K-rate for a RP.


Here's my pitching staff for this team. 12-team H2H Keeper League:

Chad Billingsley(LAD - SP) This player is a keeper.
Josh Beckett(Bos - SP) This player is a keeper.
Javier Vázquez(Atl - SP)
Brett Myers(Phi - SP)
Ted Lilly(ChC - SP)
Joe Saunders(LAA - SP)

Francisco Rodríguez(NYM - RP) This player is a keeper.
George Sherrill(Bal - RP)
Brandon Lyon(Det - RP)
Jon Rauch(Ari - RP)
Dámaso Marte(NYY - RP)

Or, should I send Saunders or Lilly packing for another RP?

This is a one-half dozen or another decision but I will go Rauch because I suspect he'll have a slightly higher K rate.

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
