KOCH, GRAVES, or CHACON - Battle of the Scrub Closers

[dannahann]

I go

Chacon
Graves
Koch

Only because chacon seems to have the closer job pinned down a little better than the others.

I've got them the same and for the same reason. We only have 2 "RP" slots and 1 "P" slot in vs 5 "SP" slots, meaning both Chacon and Graves will go earlier than they should in my league

Her's how my "average projections" spreadsheet see them (10 sources):

Chacon: 4-5/ 28 SV/ 80 IP/ 65 K/ 4.18 ERA/ 1.38 WHIP
Graves: 4-4/ 25 SV/ 86 IP/ 42 K/ 4.05 ERA/ 1.27 WHIP
Koch: 4-5/ 20 SV/ 71 IP/ 62 K/ 4.37 ERA/ 1.44 WHIP

At the end of the year Graves may be the only one with a positive dollar value.

I’d say:

Graves
Chacon
Koch

I have exploited the dual SP, RP classification myself. But beware, these guys are good for sporadic saves only. They may exert upward pressure on your overall ERA and WHIP. However their low IP will insulate you from too much damage in those depts.

[Mr.Cocky!]

Go with Chacon. One of the best closers to play the game, Rich Gossage is tutoring Chacon during Spring Training. Gossage will be giving him tips on everything from changing his mindset, to warming up properly. I think that Chacon is good for a lock on 35 saves, and has no one to challenge him for the closers job.
