Drop Rafael Soriano for Jason Motte?

[TomBrooklyn]

Should I drop Rafael Soriano for Jason Motte who's available on the wire?

Twice as many people own Motte than Soriano in ESPN leagues, but I don't know why. Soriano has more saves, Ks and a lower ERA and WHIP. I think they're missing something. Or am I?

Right now Soriano has a better chance at getting saves since it seems like the Braves skipper is platooning Gonz/Sor against lefties/righties. Motte is on the burner until Franklin blows it. I would say once Franklin has another shaky outing it would be safe to grab Motte, but as of right now you might be better off with Soriano.
