Who do you all think is going to be this year's Dotel. My league has holds and it is been difficult to figure out who to go get.
What are the thoughts on Lidge? And some of theother guys out there?

No question in my mind Johan Santana is the American league equivalent to Dotel. If he was allowed to start he might be Minnesota's ace.

True 'dat on Santana. Also check out Shields in ANA.

Nice call on shields.. wow he gets alot of K's.. Do you think that he will get any holds along side of Rod and Donnelly?

I've never played with holds, but my guess would be that Santana wouldn't be that great for holds. I know he's great for the ERA and K help, but he is more of a long-relief/setup man than a set up man per se. He's obviously great in Yahoo leagues because you can slot him in a SP spot and still put in the max allowable closers....
