Valverde or Motte

Postby spberg82 » Thu Mar 26, 2009 3:55 pm

I have room for 1 more closer on my staff....but not sure which of these guys will be better. Valverde has been conistant over the years, but there's a lot of good talk about Motte...I'd like to get on the Motte band wagon early if anyone thinks it's worth it.

Actually it's more of a replacement, Motte is on the WW and I have Valverde on my team right now, but I've never been much of a fan of his.

Well this is my opinion... Motte has the potential to be a good closer, but Valverde is already a very good closer... i would definitley get Valverde 100%, motte might not even be the closer at the start of the season, plus you dont know how he'll fair once he blows a save... solid closers like valverde are the way to go.

I agree, especially if this is a re draft league, if you have a bottom tier pitcher it might be worth it

what is your pitching staff

Help with mine?

Valverde.

BUT, I'd be tempted to pick up Motte if you can drop someone else. Whats your roster look like?

Help me too? viewtopic.php?f=26&t=374029&p=2999864#p2999864

Wang
Verlander
Harang
Sherrill
Capps
Scherzer
Gallardo
Jackson

Not the strongest rotation obviously, but I make up for my batters in this league.

keep Jose Verlarde and grab Motte for Sherrill, Sherrill will probably lose his job in the first month to Ray, who has been lights out this spring.
