I would drop Simon or Clippard. The Orioles closer situation is always messy and unless you really need saves, you could probably roll with two closers for a while until you make a trade or someone starts slumping. Also, Clippard is good for your ratios but won't get you saves. Right now I don't really see any hitters that you could drop for Jackson and I feel like if you drop Clippard or Simon, they'll both hang out on the WW for a while anyway.

Please help with mine:

Agreed. You can't drop any of your hitters for Austin, and I probably wouldn't drop Simon while he's still closing out games and has some value. Clippard is a pretty easy drop for me here, because I'm not that big a believer in keeping MR guys who can "help with your ratios." IMO, they pitch far too few innings to really make that big of an impact. Cautionary note, though - I don't think AJ can keep this up at all.

I picked him up and dropped Clippard. My thought is to sell high now while h's hot for someone who is a buy low.
