Closers down, closers down!!

Postby skjelstrom » Wed Apr 14, 2010 3:04 pm

Fuentes went down for my team. Who will be the best replacement?

Matt Capps
Fernando Rodney
Jim Johnson
Octavio Dotel
Frank Francisco (?if he ever gets his job back?)

I have Capps on my bench and just added Rodney becuase my Fuentes went down. But Jim Johnson and Dotel and Francisco are still in the FA. Which ones will be the best from here on out?

Hope you just DLed Fuentes because he will get his job back.

I rank them:
Fuentes
Capps
Rodney
Dotel
Johnson
Francisco

I ranked Rodney higher then Dotel because if you kept Fuentes you will just replace Rodney with Fuentes apon his return. Capps to me is the best #2, still has the skill to get it done and will have plenty of Save Opps. Francisco I believe has lost his job for good, thats Feliz's unless he has a TOTAL meltdown, which I don't see happening.

Help me out...

Acutally I should have done it like this:
Fuentes/Rodney
Capps
Dotel
Johnson
Francisco

Offer up your opinion quick?...

Anyone have an opinion about Bailey? I was very surprised to see him dropped but maybe I'm missing something...

I would grab Bailey. Fuentes is not a bad pickup either. Capps is a stiff.

Who to drop for Bailey?

Capps, Rodney, or Marcum

Capps is a stiff despite whathe has done so far. Marcum is marginal but pitching well for the moment at least. Rodney is short term. On paper Rodney should go since he is not guaranteed the position.
