Drop B.J. Ryan

[kwh6386]

B.J. Ryan hasn't looked his best in the first week of the season. Closers that are available include Matt Capps, Troy Percival, Kevin Greg, and Heath Bell. Do you think I should drop B.J. Ryan, if so, who should I pick up?

hey, welcome to the caf!

its always helpful if you post your team and league size/settings. without that information its hard to give a good analysis.

i don't think its time to give up on ryan just yet. plus i'm loathe to drop a closer until they've officially lost the gig.

but you should definitely try to roster capps and bell -- they're both pretty good. if you post your roster maybe we can work something out.

I am in a six team league. Just some of my friends that got the league together. Anyway for the pitching we get points for wins, saves, k's, era, and whip. We get a point for each of the categories than we win. We play each team in weekly head-to-head matchups.

My pitching staff consists of:
SP- Johan Santana, Josh Beckett, Francisco Liriano, Cole Hamels, Zach Greinke, Edison Volquez
RP- Mariano Rivera, Joe Nathan, Bobby Jenks, and B.J. Ryan.

caps or bell. both NL pitchers... works for me.

Yea drop him for sure in a 6 team leauge. Bell and capps are both better options.

Well I would go wtih Bell, I expect SD to have a lot of save opps for him when all is said and done.
