Valverde *WHIR*

Postby michaelyoung4prez » Mon Apr 20, 2009 2:11 pm

The Astros are kinda bad and Valverde's back is hurting, Hawkins has the lone save for the team this season. Should I switch to one of these guys on the WW:

Gregg
Ziegler
Lindstrom
Rodney
Cordero
Francisco
Capps
Wilson
Sherrill
Fuentes
Franklin

Thanks, leave a link for help ;-D

first of all, hold on to valverde.

secondly, and much more importantly, what is going on in your league? 11 closers are available? why?

Hey...I have Valverde and am hanging onto (and starting) him. Yes...the 'Stros are off to a slow star, but they will win 70-75 games...and not by blowout. I think Val is good for 30+ saves this year, like the last two years. I have many of those same guys available in my league (10 teams/only start 2)...and will not touch them for dropping Val. Too many questions with them...their team, their security of closing, etc. Keep your guy!!! 30+ Saves!!!

Please help me: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=379801

Just so you guys are aware, if you are playing in a 10 team league that only allows you to use 2 RPs, you should virtually never draft a RP. I'd guess Papelbon is an 18th rounder or so in that format. Maybe you guys realize this already though.
