Pick up A. Baily for saves? Or, Luke Scott for homers?

Postby D.Piston » Sun Jun 14, 2009 10:51 am

I'm short on saves, but not sure who to drop. Probably can't drop anyone until Votto or Quentin comes back to the team though.
Plus, I just traded for the slumping Vernon Wells hoping that he'd get out of this funk. Still waiting.
So, what should I do? Some FAs include... Bailey or Luke Scott, Chris Young, Rios, Rasmus, Reimold. Thanks all! ;-D

First off, as a Jays fan I would much rather have Rios than V Wells. Wells is complete garbage. 1 amazing season followed by 4 average seasons for a CF.

On to the question at hand. Without seeing your closing situation I would say you aren't really in need of HR so go for Bailey, who is for new Oakland's closer.

Definitely Bailey. I like to have 5 closers on my team and Bailey, despite a few blowups, has pitched pretty well.

Bailey. Closers are harder to come by than home runs. Remember, closers get 30 saves, non-closers get 1-2 saves (out of a pen). Power hitters get 30 HRs, non-power hitters get 15.

I would try to find a way to get Rios on your roster before Bailey or Scott
