I love having closers, usually i have 3 top 10 closers, this year i traded away a lot of my early picks for a championship run last year so i needed to grab strong hitters and pitchers since there were 60 players taking be4 my first pick. I had League, soria and thronton to start the league but of course soria got hurt and thronton didnt get the job.
I will make a move in may for a closer most likely as i want to see who will secure their jobs.

I think i would package Chipper and lynn, and see if you can get a good 3b back and a good pitcher back. Deal lynn to someone who needs pitching and has a 3b, I think lynn will come down. and you could get away with a steal. thanks for help on mine

I think a package of Lynn and chipper could yield something great at 3B. Especially being in a 14 team league someone has to need pitching and Lynn is as sell high as you can get right now. So shop that around and see what you could get.
Keeping Harper on your bench for a while wouldn't be a bad thing as long as it doesn't prevent you from making moves to improve your team. As other responses have said, upgrading at 3B or RP would benefit your team. If doing that means you need to trade or drop Harper, you should make that happen.
I say pacage lynn and chipper together, sell high on lynn, you should be able to get a good 3b back and a good pitcher, sell high on lynn now, thanks for help on mine

Even in 2013 then he won't be THAT great right away. I would trade him now before the rest of the world figures out hes in AAA for the whole year and you can still get something for him. See if you can snag an elite 3B for Bryce + Chipper would be my suggestion.
Bryce Harper is the real deal. Hes still only 19. I feel in 2~3 years from now he will be the Bryce Harper we've all been hearing about for ages, but until then, hes a wasted spot on your roster imo.
Moustakas has really turned a corner. Hes always been known as a slow starter but hes got it figured out a lot quicker this year then in years passed. I would buy low (if you can) on him now before he gets as popular as his brother across the diamond.
2013? how about april of 2012!
