Trade for a closer

Postby Surfs up » Thu Apr 15, 2010 10:32 am

I'm in first place in my league . I'm in 6th in the saves catagory. Wagner and Frasor are my closers. As we all know Frasor has been removed as the closer. I'm thinking of trying to get Francisco Cordero who still has a year left on his contract after this year . Or Rivera whos contract is up after this year.I am thinking of offering Brad Penny for either closer. I also have Liriano I could use and if he pitches well against the Red Sox I think his value will go up. The owner of Rivera likes Liriano and his team isn't doing well. he doesn't have much to work with.last year I punted saves and loaded up on starters after I fell behind and ended up with only 11 for the season.
We do weekly transactions for FA and Kevin Gregg is on the FA list. I have to wait until Saturday midnight to put a claim in for him.Problem is two owners have closers now on the DL and one of them could claim him before Saturday midnight.
What would you do?

Your not going to get a closer for Brad Penny...so if you can move Lirano for either I'd do it.

I should have added but didn't want to make the post longer than it already is. The owner of Rivera is a Cardinals fan. I also thought since Penny is pitching great right now on a very good team I would use that as my trade bait. I'm hoping Liriano pitches well today.Same guy likes him too.
