K-Rod Dilemna

Postby Johnny Tuttle » Wed Sep 08, 2010 9:59 am

So I've been hanging onto this punk in my dynasty league, but I'm in first place & on my bye week. I could drop K-Rod to activate A-Rod, or I could just drop a relief pitcher (holds count, H2H league).

Will I regret turfing K-Rod, or is he not even a sure thing to close next year? I want to win now, and if he's blacklisted or a new setup man come 2011, what will I have killed a roster spot for?

Thank you.

I'd go ahead and drop K-Rod and activate A-Rod. In a dynasty league, he is no sure thing anymore, especially with Takahashi and Purnell lurking(And doing well). Let somebody else burn a waiver claim on that idiot. ;-D
I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

Well, he made a huge mistake and though he's being punished for it, I have a hard time believing one incident ruins him. The guy is too good and will come back as a closer for somebody.

Sincerely, though, closers should be considered fairly replaceable, right?

I could tab Gregerson now, and for all I know, I still have a closer for 2011. I currently have the Mets guy/Sale/Kuo/Feliz/Mo as my relief pitchers. Holds count in my league.

I think he goes today, guys. It's wasted value, but I see no alternative.
