Ligtenberg got a save today & pitched well

[Members Only Jackets]

Desperate for saves in my American League Only Yahoo League, I picked up Ligtenberg today after he was dropped by someone yesterday. He got his first save and looked good in doing so! Yeah I know, Toronto's closer situation is in more termoil than Iraq..but hey, I'm desperate.

Is there a good chance he'll become their everday closer?

[d18Mike]

I hope not -- I did the opposite of you! I dupmed Lightenburg and picked up Adams last week, It looks like CBC. So we'll both probably lose!

I dunno....he pitched well today and got the save. 3 k's in 1 & 1/3. Why sit him? For Spier?

[d18Mike]

Yeah, that's true. I was watching the game. They had Adams, warmed-up, arms folded in the bullpen waiting to come in. Ligthenberg thew some great pitches to Thomas and Konerko -- but Adams was looming.

Closer by Committe!

[LBJackal]

Adams is still the closer. He pitched in 2 straight games so they gave him some rest and let Ligtenburg finish it out.

was it foolish of me to drop marte and pick up Lightenburg? yeah, I'm desperate.

[LBJackal]

Well Marte will probably get the job soon. Koch has returned to bein terrible, walking 5 batters in his last 2 IP, as well as giving up 2 hits in that same span. He somehow managed to get 2 saves in those 2 outings though. Who knows how long the ChiSox will leave him out there.

so jackal, if you were me and had to chose between marte & Lightenburg ...who would you rather have?

[LBJackal]

Tough call. I've always been partial to Marte, but Chicago doesn't seem to want to use him as a closer. Then again, Toronto has 5 closer candidates. However Adams has been named closer, and has been good lately. So I guess Marte. Who are your other options?
