bettet ww pickup - a. gordon or s. romo (whir)

Postby osbtensor » Sat Apr 14, 2012 10:13 pm

Some guy just dropped a. gordon today which is crazy.. but yesterday s. romo was dropped. I have the #1 waiver, but I assume I will only get one of them, who is the better choice? I think Gordon (especially since I have Ellsbury) is more solid, but saves are worth quite a bit in our league, so romo has appeal. I have my fair share of closers already, I only keep the minimum amount of SP on roster.

Who is more likely to live up to their expectations? Gordon as a batter or Romo as the closer? Who's the droppable player? LoMo? Utley? Rodney? Broxton? Now I have three players on the DL and i'm taking an actual roster spot with a DL player, which sucks.

Gordon has been ice cold, but I think that's just temporary.

Romo is lights out, but not the guaranteed closer.

I think Casilla has a better chance of taking the closer job in SF, so I would definitely pick Alex Gordon.



Thanks for the help with mine.

Gordon 100%, and yes, pick up Casilla if you have room. He could close instead of Romo.

Thanks for helping me out.

No one knows if it is Casilla or Romo so pay no mind. Romo could be a $25 closer by years end and with that being said, get Gordon asap.

Sure, value wise Gordon may end up not being the call but you cannot risk the others right now so the best move is to grab Gordon.

Wait, what?? Alex Gordon was a sixth round pick in my league. Absolutely, without a doubt, get him.

Gordon easily. Romo is speculative where Gordon is a very good OF. Too early to give up on him.

It could be a closer committee in SF, so defiantly pick up Gordon with your #1 waiver.

Alex Gordon without a doubt. I can't believe someone dropped him already?

You have to love owner's panicking in week 2 that a guy they picked in the early rounds is off to a slow start. Pick up Gordon. He is not a player I usually target in the early rounds because of the lack an established track record, but you can't let him pass.
