What to do with my RP...

Postby AmazinMeTS86 » Fri Mar 27, 2009 5:45 pm

I currently have Chris Perez as one of my closers but keep on reading how well Motte is doing. I don't want another Marmol/Wood issue to happen to me like last year. Please weigh in as to who you guys think will walk away with the closer job. Thanks in advance for your responses.

Motte seems to be the early favorite after his great performance this spring.

So would you say drop Perez for Motte at this point?

i wouldn't drop perez yet. according to cbs sportsline, motte is the longshot of the 3 (perez, franklin, and motte) to get the job. of course, like you said, anything can happen. i would sit tight for now.

help me please: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=374292

If I had to pick one the three possibilities in St. Louis, I'd go with Motte right now. But I would carry both Perez and Motte to start the season if I could manage it.

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

I would go with Perez and Motte right now as well, but for the long run definitely Motte.

If you have time please help me out with a keeper question.
