Closer Mess...

Postby AmazinMeTS86 » Sun May 10, 2009 7:59 pm

I currently have Papelbon and Capps as my closers but with Capps on the mend...who do I take a stab at. Since we start 2 closers in my league there are none on the wire that currently have a closers role. Of the available guys who do you all think would be the best gamble for this week in my H2H standard scoring league?

Andrew Bailey - Ziegler has been ehhhh
Raphael Soriano - Gonzo shaky at best...
Juan Cruz - Soria has been complaining of shoulder and arm stiffness
David Aardsma
Tony Pena
Joel Hanrahan - plays for the worst team in baseball :-t

or I could go with a guy who has RP eligibility...

Brian Tallet - goes up against CC this week who has looked pretty good of late :-o
Ross Ohlendorf - v. Piniero

Help 8-o
Chan Ho Park - @ WAS

Short Term or Long Term?

Short Term I would take a shot at Juan Cruz, if Soria's shoulder acts up.

I believe Bailey will be the closer within a month, and will have more value the rest of the way. I'd go with Bailey for the above reasons, but, if it's really for a week or two only, I could see Cruz.

Help with mine:

For the short term I'd go with Cruz because of Soria's situation.
