Closer Rankings (1 Viewer)

[Texican]

Is there anywhere that has some good closer rankings?

I am looking to upgrade my closer position (Capps, Sherrill, Soria, Lidge, Lyon). I was looking to possibly trade for Wagner (offering Lidge and Uggla). Think I'm in the right ballpark? I'm just trying to see where they all rank.

Lidge is a disaster waiting to happen. I wouldnt want him. Capps & Sherrill both should be very good. Soria is a stud. Lyon might not be able to keep the job past April unless he doesnt blow his next few saves.

Oh, I agree with everything you are saying. That's why I am trying to move Lidge. I couldn't give away Lyon at this point.

when i was checking my team, i noticed espn has a list just updated by karabel. i know some people don't like him, but it could give you sometghing to start with. wagner's value is probably deflated now since he hasn't been in a game in a week....

The only closer you have Id rank above Wagner is Soria. I dont think Lidge & Uggla is enough for Wagner but you can try. Id sell high on Sherrill if I were you. He should be good all year but I dont see the O's winning alot of games this year despite their hot streak.

Well Yahoo has them ranked Uggla-89, Wagner-90, and Lidge-138. Of course I believe this is where they were at the start of the season.

Evidently not, it was shot down quickly. And the Wagner owner is the league idiot, so if he says no - I guess I'm stuck.
