Francisco Cordero?

What do you think of him?

I can keep him in a 20-man league, but I would have to sign him to a $7M/4 year deal (I have a $120M budget) that I'm already regretting. My other relivers are Billy Wagner, Ryan Perry, Juan Gutiérrez and Carlos Villanueva. There are about 4 other established closers expected to enter free agency (Broxton, Bailey, Franklin, Valverde), but I can't really guarantee that I'm getting any of them in the offline auction.

The price of 7M sounds OK, but the 4 year deal part is bad. I think I would pass on that offer if you have to go 4 years.

If you can put up with his seemingly high walks and/or hits, 7 mil. seems ok. But 4 years is something to really think about.

As a Reds fan my observation might be a little messed up, he's a good pitcher, but will he be worth 4 years? I don't think so.

I'de pass if it has to go 4 years. I would rather save the space and go after 1 of the other RP's that would be available.

If you can get Bailey for 4 years that would be great but F.C. pass.

Closers aren't that hard to come by in a 20 team league. There will be about a dozen guys closing at some point next year who didn't have the job when the season started.
