I'd either grab Blackburn or Wilson for some extra saves. Blackburn's not that great an option so I'd probably go with Wilson and get a few saves and when Francisco returns then grab the hot pitcher. Medlin, Braves rookie, seems pretty hot right now and might be worth a gamble.

Assuming this is a roto?

Definately CJ Wilson, but I would consider dropping Slowey and grabbing Cruz as well. A few extra saves could mean a couple points in the standings and might make the difference at the end of the year.

Definately dont need another bat on the bench, agree with you there. F. Fransisco is back Friday, so not much value from CJ Wilson, imo. Pinero pitched a gem today, but doesnt K nearly enough for my tastes.

My pick is Juan Cruz who I think has the best chance for saves going forward, even if its just a week and a half or so, followed by DiFilice and Frasor for ratios and the occasional S/W.

Thanks for the input on mine.

Looking over your roster, I'd drop Thome for Rasmus or Butler.
