Drop Lidge for Slowey? WHIR

Postby coma » Sun Jun 07, 2009 1:38 pm

Lidge is my 4th closer right now, and he his tendency to implode is not winning me over. I picked him up a few weeks ago and it hasn't been the best few weeks. My other 3 closers are legit. Should I drop Lidge for Slowey? (Also, Valverde, Capps, and Downs are all available so if something goes wrong with Slowey there are decent closing options if I want a 4th closer. I also just dropped Pierre for Choo cause I could use more power)

does your league not value closers at all with that many on the WW?

From the looks of your team, you don't really need pitching. However if saves are sooo easily available in your league, you might consider dropping Lidge for maybe some OF help, take a flier on some of the rookies who have been called up lately.

What do you think of this trade? viewtopic.php?t=389154
