Need Holds, who to pick up? WHIR

Postby saemick » Wed May 12, 2010 1:14 pm

I grabbed Fernando Rodney as the setup guy in LAA, but he hasn't gotten me a hold in almost 2 weeks. Should I drop him for one of the following:

Todd Coffey (Mil) 3 Holds in the last week (0.00EAR, 1.64WHIP)
Arthur Rhodes (CIN) 3 Holds in the last week (0.00ERA, 1.29WHIP)
Brad Ziegler (OAK) 2 Holds in the last week (6.00ERA, 0.67WHIP)
Hong-Chih Kuo (LAD) 2 Holds in the last week (0.00ERA, 0.00WHIP)

Or if there's anyone else that comes to mind, please throw them out there.

leave a a link

thanks

I like the top guys like:

Gregerson, Rhodes, Adams, Bard, Zumaya, Downs and Guerrier.

But if they aren't available I also like in this order:

Coffee(with the Hawkins injury he should get a big holds boost), Villanueva, O'Day, Ohman, Durbin, Rupe(ERA looks horrid, but thats cuz he only has 9IP) and Ryan Perry.


Some help in return?....viewtopic.php?t=411580 ;-D

all but Zumaya are taken...but I'm not sure I really trust Zumaya's ERA & WHIP not to kill me...am I incorrect in thinking that?

He won't pitch enough innings for his ratios to hurt you that badly, even if they do get worse. His Ks and K/9 and Holds look really good.

I like Zumaya. I think he will get a bunch of holds as the year goes on. They seem to be pitching him 2 innings every other day but as the season goes on they may let him loose a little more. I think he is a fine option.
