Trade for a closer?

Postby Surfs up » Thu May 14, 2009 8:28 pm

Ok heres the deal. I have Soria and Zeigler as my two closers. As we all know Soria is on the DL and Zeigler should be. I am in last place in saves. My starting pitchers are coming around . I have been throwing the idea around about trying to trade Shields for Broxton.
My other starters are J. Vazquez, Wolf. Lilly, Jurrgens,Cahill and Lackey .I still could gain some ground in saves but at this point I can't lose any more points. Should I consider making the offer or just stay pat with what I have and hope Zeigler goes on the DL. If he does I can replace him and drop him when he does come back. 5x5 12 team keeper. Is this too much for Broxton or not enough?

i think you're trading a little too much
go after a closer who isn't performing as well as broxton - you're gonna pay too much for broxie and a lesser hyped closer will get you just as many saves - ex: everyone's down on gregg and street right now, so you might get them cheap


also is juan cruz not available while soria's out? grab him if you can

please help me

Yeah I've been thinking about this all day. I am going to go with Soria when he comes back and put him on the block for another solid starter. I can't lose anymore points in saves and I can gain alot in the other four catagories by adding a starter.My hitting is in the top 3 in all 5 catagories so thats my strong point.
