Rank these Closers - WHIR!

Postby jase218 » Tue Apr 21, 2009 8:05 am

I am trying to determine if I should pick up M. Gonzalez (Atl - RP). Is Gonzalez a better long-term option than any of the closers currently on my team? FYI - Joel Hanrahan (Was - RP) is on the WW but the Nationals teams is a mess.

Currently, here is my roster. My closers are in bold.

10 Team League, H2H
Hitting: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG
Pitching: Wins, K, Saves, ERA, Whip

C Victor Martinez (Cle - C,1B)
1B Ryan Howard (Phi - 1B)
2B Howie Kendrick (LAA - 2B)
3B Kevin Youkilis (Bos - 1B,3B)
SS Rafael Furcal (LAD - SS)
OF Carl Crawford (TB - OF)
OF Ryan Braun (Mil - OF)
OF Carlos Quentin (CWS - OF)
Util Lance Berkman (Hou - 1B)
BN Stephen Drew (Arz - SS)

SP James Shields (TB - SP)
SP Matt Cain (SF - SP)
RP BJ Ryan (Tor - RP) - Closer
RP Francisco Cordero (Cin - RP) - Closer
P Manny Corpas (Col - RP) - Closer
P Kevin Gregg (ChC - RP) - Closer

P Chris Young (SD - SP)
BN Armando Galarraga (Det - SP)
BN Zack Greinke (KC - SP)
BN Andy Pettite (NYY - SP)
BN Wandy Rodriguez (Hou - SP)
DL Trevor Hoffman (Mil - RP) - Closer

Don't drop a closer. Drop somebody else if you want Gonzalez, but don't drop a closer. Trade him or something. So I'd drop Rodriguez, pick up Gonzalez, then look to deal a closer or two. Just how did you wind up with 5 closers anyways? Are other teams in your league allergic to them?

Don't drop Wandy, he's a stud. Corpas is crap, get Hanrahan.
