Do I keep a SS to complete my offense or do the 2nd closer? We do a 10-round draft and I have no picks in the first couple rounds.

[BUCCOFAN]

Think you got to go with the SS here, (weak position) Closers can be found during the year, and even tho Motte was lights out in Post Season, I still feel like they might like him in the Setup role long term.

Never been an Alexei fan and last season seemed to signal the start of his ever so gradual decline. I'd rather keep Motte since you likely won't have a chance to draft another closer when it comes time for your first pick. Sure, closers pop up later in the season but I feel ARam's numbers could almost be replaced by taking a chance on a handful of guys far down the ADP - Zach Cozart, Jed Lowrie, Mike Aviles or Sean Rodriguez.

I am not a fan of Alexei, I would keep the closer.

Alexei

Can you cut Wandy and keep them both?

If not I like Alexei better.

[Broncmet724]

keep Alexei

[Element]

I'm going to Motte. Not a Ramirez fan myself.

I keep both and drop McCarthy.
If not, Motte since you need 2 closers.

I would drop Wandy before McCarthy. If not, then I keep Motte. Closers can be found but in 14 team leagues they aren't as easy to find plus you have to be first to grab him. An Alexei can be found on the WW though.
