Which SP for holds - Marshall or Contreras? WHIR

Postby jacktowner » Wed Jun 09, 2010 11:37 pm

I picked up Contreras as a handcuff for Lidge, but now that Lidge is back, I'm tempted to drop Contreras for Sean Marshall. I know there is still a chance that Lidge could get injured again, but I could always pick up Contreras again if needed (that is if no one picks him up as a holds option). Marshall has been pitching lights out for over a month now, recording 5 W, 1 SV, 6 HLD, 35 K over 28 IP and sporting a 1.91 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. His role is hard to nail down, but his overall value is impressive - and TEMPTING. As good as he's pitching, I wouldn't be surprised if he were moved to the closer role soon. Contreras is a decent holds option - that is WHEN the Phillies can actually lead a game...

I actually picked Marshall up for one day, then dropped him b/c I needed an extra hitter more - lucky for me, that one day he recorded a hold. ;-D

So, do I drop Contreras to pick up Marshall? Should I drop someone else instead? Or do I stay put and watch him sit in the Top 50 pitcher waiver pool - surely someone will pick him up if he continues this success. Thoughts?
