I went into the draft looking to wait on Closers but due to a very strange draft I was shut-out, my current RPs are
Chris Perez Roy Corcoran Jensen Lewis
Even scouring the waiver wire I can't see this working out well for me. I am thinking of picking up Scott Downs TOR when everyone clears waivers on Thursday.
Anyone have any really deep sleepers I should keep my eyes on?
Here are the top 10 available based on owned %
R Braun CWS C Cordero SEA S Gallagher OAK R Franklin STL J Samardzija CHC D Marte NYY S Downs TOR M Lowe SEA J Zumaya DET S Torres MIL
Keep your eye on Burton in Cincy. I'd also grab Dotel and Juan Cruz if they're available. High K guys that will step in if there's an injury. I'm in the same boat as you. 20 team league, got shut out of saves, so I have Dotel and Cruz and will scour the waiver wire once people start getting hurt/demoted.
out of these, i like gallagher, but he's gonna be the #3 starter i think, not a relief pitcher. zumaya is on 15 day DL. do you have some hitters you could trade for a better reliever? you don't have to go all out to get a top 5 reliever, just someone like francisco or bell, who you wouldn't have to give the bank for.

Dotel and Cruz are both gone, I meant to pick Dotel when I accidentally picked Lewis, Dotel went next pick.
I will watch out for Burton, thnaks.

I will probably get Zumaya and stash him on a DL spot, I have 3. I have a very nice offense and could probably get a closer in a trade, I don't like to trade this early though.

I know I found out after I drafted him. I will definitely drop Perez for Zumaya, stash him on DL then pick up Downs.
I like the idea of picking up Downs... any chance Leo Nunez is available? I'd like to see you grab him as well, with Lindstrom ailing and never particularly effective.
