Which reliever to pick up..?

Postby mlymon77 » Thu Jul 19, 2012 11:52 am

I'm in a H2H points league and in need of a reliever who will not only be a reliable closer but also get a good amount of save opportunities. I'm having a tough time weighing the options, since some of the available pitchers on WW are better than others but not getting many save opps and thus, less points. Can someone help me figure this out? Here are the available relievers I'm looking at:

Addison Reed (CWS)
Casey Janssen (Tor)
Francisco Rodriguez (Mil)
Tyler Clippard (Was)
Ryan Cook (Oak)
Carlos Marmol (ChC)

Thanks for any help offered!

Of all those guys, Ryan Cook has the most solid lock on the closer job.

Reed isn't very reliable
Janssen, same deal
Axford will get the job back soon, so Franky isn't a solid add
Storen is coming back so Clippard could be kicked out
And Marmol is just plain shit.

I forgot to mention Chris Perez (Cle), although with Cleveland, I'm not sure I'm gonna get many pts from him.
