Phillies closers

[jebatzel]

I find it crazy that Worrell now as 7 saves and Wagner only had 8 before he got hurt.

This all due to the Phillies starting to hit and win games, or just luck?

i don't know, but worrell spontaneously combusted last night. that's for sure.

I think Madson would make a better closer than Worrell.

[jebatzel]

Wagner should be back middle of June I think

Maybe I should be trying to trade for Wagner now.

I have Rhodes, Herges, and Valverde

was nice Valverde got me a win last night, I think he will return as closer.

I dropped Valverde for Jose Contreras. Should I try to pick Valverde up when he clears waivers?

Yeah, Worrell's been great for me. I picked him up for a quick fix of saves. His ratios aren't great, but better than others'.

Jose Valverde - Relief Pitcher Buy Diamondbacks Tickets


Jose Valverde picked up his first win of the year by pitching a perfect ninth inning tonight against the Giants.
He fanned two. If Valverde can put some quality innings together, it might not be long before he's back in the closer's role. It's not like Scott Service is a long-term solution.

I am not sure how long, I never dropped him.

Would anyone here trade Percival for Billy Wagner? I have Izzy, Percival, Affeldt, Koch, and I could pick up Service or Valverde. I love Wags as I'm from Philly, but I'm scared of his injury. Also, Percival is sucking lately. I'd rather try to trade him now on name recognition before he loses his job to KRod.
