Would You Pick Up JP Howell or Fernando Rodney? WHIR

Postby Salty-Dog » Tue Jul 14, 2009 9:13 am

Need a closer for this week and possibly next - h2h points league - standard scoring

I like Howell, but he seems a little foggy as to his role as closer or not

In a heart-beat, pick up Howell.

While it's a "committee" in Tampa, Howell has been lights out.

Meanwhile, Rodney's walks are increasing and I'm not sure he can keep it up.

Rodney b/c he has no competition right now and has been pretty solid, plus the Tigers are in 1st place.

thanks guys, 1 for each guy

Howell, so far, has been the better RP, but does he keep the job full time???

I'd go for Howell. He's just been absolutely awesome so far as closer for the Rays. Rodney, has been surprisingly good as well all season long, but everyone keeps expecting him to regress and potentially lose his job.
