OK, both my teams (in sig) are in desperate need of saves.
Team 1: Current RPs:
- Heath Bell (my ONLY money RP)
- Kevin Gregg (shaky starter situation - Marmol waiting in the wings)
- David Aardsma (would be the starting closer on at least 5 teams IMO -- Morrow's health issues gives him some save opps)
- Joe Beimel (currently on DL, is "supposed" to be the closer when he's back but who the heck knows? the Nats are a mess)
Waiver Wire / FA RPs Available:
- LaTroy Hawkins (steps into starter role -- but let's face it, he's no Sandman)
- Julian Tavaraz (should see save opps while Beimen is on DL -- if he does well, who knows if I should even hold onto Beimel?)
- Jason Motte / Chris Perez (waiting in the wings in case Franklin falters -- not holding my breath)
- Leo Nunez / Kiko Calero (waiting for another Lindstrom meltdown)
Others available: Jason Frasor, Scot Shields, Joel Zumaya, Jason Grilli, Garrett Mock,
Team 2: Current RPs:
- Trevor Hoffman (lucky I was able to scoop him off of waivers)
- Scott Downs (solid FA pickup)
- George Sherrill (many reports have Ray coming in at some point to take the starting position)
- Kevin Gregg (see above)
- Joe Beimel (see above)
Waiver Wire / FA RPs Available:
- Julian Tavaraz (see above)
- Jason Motte / Chris Perez (see above)
- Leo Nunez / Kiko Calero (see above)
Others available: Ryan Madson, Jason Frasor, Scot Shields, Joel Zumaya, Jason Grilli, Garrett Mock
SO, not your ideal situation -- any ideas / advice / help???
I'd really appreciate any insight on those watching the closer situation across the bigs -- WHIR.
