got no closers but am i giving up too much?

[miracles716]

i am near the bottom in the pitching department and got no closers at all so this guy offers me
andrew bailey and ryan franklin for pedroia, he also has bell, marmol, and aardsma so i can have my pick of which 2 i want, should i do it?

[miracles716]

anyone?

[gocards]

H2H or Roto? Who would replace Pedroia in your line-up? Is saves your only problem or do you have other holes?

I would probably do it in a vacuum, but I think I undervalue Pedroia.

[soty]

I would not. If you need saves find another way. Pedroia is one of the best at shallow position I would stand pat.

[miracles716]

i have 3 2nds, aaron hill, kelly johnson and hudson and right now hudson is DH, kelly is MI and hill on the bench, if i were to ask for 2 closers, which one should i ask for? i was thinking marmol and bell, he also has fister and liriano on his bench so should i ask that he include them too?

[Surfs up]

May not work for you but I fell behind in saves last year because I had Soria on the DL to start the season. Wilson was my other closer. I decided to trade Wilson for Lilly and when Soria got healthy I trade him . I forget fo who. Anyway I loaded up on starters since I was dead last in saves which is only ONE catagory . I won or was in the top three three of the four other catagoies . I had never punted saves before. I play in a 5x5 roto league. It may not work for you but no matter what. DO NOT trade Pedroia for any closer or closers.

[miracles716]

do you think he would accept a counter of bell, bailey and liriano for pedroia?

[Tony Micelli]

do you think he would accept a counter of bell, bailey and liriano for pedroia?

Probably too much. See if you can get Liriano and Bell for Pedroia.

[miracles716]

But if bell gets traded he's worthless as a setup man
