Need to Pick Up an RP, Which One? (1 Viewer)

[Lehigh98]

I have B.J. Ryan as one of my 2 closers (with other being Brian Fuentes). With B.J. hurt it gives me a free opportunity to replace him (see rules below) since he was so-so and may lose his job? If I pick someone else up, I need someone who looks to have a firm grasp on the job as if he loses it, I may be stuck with him and 0 stats. (see rules below)The closers that are currently available include (sorted by # of saves)layer INN GS QS CG W L S BS K BBI HA ERA WHIP Value Qualls, Chad RP ARI 10.0 0 0 0 0 0 6 1 14 1 9 1.80 1.00 80 Rodney, Fernando RP DET 10.0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 7 1 10 4.50 1.10 153 Morrow, Brandon SP SEA 6.7 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 8 7 2 4.05 1.35 206 Lindstrom, Matt RP FLA 9.0 0 0 0 1 1 5 2 8 7 11 8.00 2.00 409 Sherrill, George RP BAL 10.7 0 0 0 0 1 4 2 9 3 15 5.06 1.69 355 Downs, Scott RP TOR 13.7 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 17 0 7 0.66 0.51 48 Aardsma, David RP SEA 11.3 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 10 7 5 2.38 1.06 174 Hoffman, Trevor RP MIL 4.0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 5 0 2 0.00 0.50 208 Hawkins, LaTroy RP HOU 12.3 0 0 0 0 0 3 1 11 3 13 2.92 1.30 216 Percival, Troy RP TB 7.3 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 3 3 8 2.45 1.50 307 Wuertz, Michael RP OAK 13.7 0 0 0 1 1 2 0 13 2 10 1.98 0.88 114 Soriano, Rafael RP ATL 11.0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 15 5 4 1.64 0.82 142 Coffey, Todd RP MIL 14.3 0 0 0 1 0 2 2 9 3 16 3.77 1.33 254 Saito, Takashi RP BOS 9.0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 10 2 13 5.00 1.67 460 Hanrahan, Joel RP WAS 10.0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 13 5 10 7.20 1.50 507 Villanueva, Carlos SP MIL 12.3 0 0 0 1 3 2 3 9 7 13 7.30 1.62 560 Frasor, Jason RP TOR 10.3 0 0 0 4 0 1 0 6 1 4 0.00 0.48 60 Troncoso, Ramon RP LA 16.7 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 7 2 9 1.08 0.66 93 Cruz, Juan RP KC 11.3 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 6 6 6 2.38 1.06 229 Madson, Ryan RP PHI 11.0 0 0 0 2 1 1 1 16 6 9 3.27 1.36 237 McClellan, Kyle RP STL 11.7 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 11 7 9 3.09 1.37 298 Reyes, Dennys RP STL 7.0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 4 2 3 2.57 0.71 299 Grilli, Jason RP COL 8.7 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 12 6 7 1.04 1.50 320 Tavarez, Julian SP WAS 10.0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 13 5 8 4.50 1.30 398 Ohman, Will RP LA 8.7 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 4 3 8 5.19 1.27 483 Corpas, Manny RP COL 10.7 0 0 0 0 3 1 1 5 2 18 6.75 1.88 764 Shields, Scot RP ANA 9.3 0 0 0 0 2 1 0 4 10 7 7.71 1.82 767 Balfour, Grant RP TB 7.7 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 8 10 8 8.22 2.35 798 Should I drop B.J. for one of the guys above?

RULES SUMMARYFormatSerpentine draft with players from both AL & NL leagues Players5 offensive players (any position)3 starting pitchers2 closers CategoriesBasic 8 plus K’s and Runs (a 5X5 format)Reserve TeamPost draft (in March) the teams will participate in a supplemental on-line lottery draft to draft a four-player RESERVE team of two pitchers and two hitters. Teams must use their reserve players to replace a rostered player who is injured and on the MLB DL. If teams have depleted their reserve players due to injuries to their drafted ten players, then and only then can they claim free agents from the MBL FA pool of players as injury replacements. If a team elects to replace a non-injured rostered player with a reserve team player it must use a "free pass" to do so.MovesAdd FAs only if players are on official MLB DL, are suspended, get sent to minors, on bereavement, etc. Drop players only when DLed players come off DL. Additionally, teams are granted TWO "free passes" that can be used to make discretionary, unrestricted FA moves. Reserve Moves as described in above rule change proposal. Also, if a RES player is promoted to the active roster to replace a DLed player, and the DLed player is subsequently activated from the DL by a MLB team, the owner must decide which of the two players is returned to the RES squad.

11 Team League with 2 starting RP's each.Draft was a month before the season started though and add/drop is restrained so that may play a part.Maybe B.J. going on DL was good for me, would you rather have Hoffman over B.J. straight up?(New to fantasy baseball so I'm still learning here)

 

[Spartans Rule]

Qualls, Chad RP ARI 10.0 0 0 0 0 0 6 1 14 1 9 1.80 1.00 80

This guy easily. Should've been drafted even in this format.He has job security, pitches for a decent team, and has a 14/1 K/BB ratio. Can't ask for much more from a closer.

 

[Captain Hook]

100% agree on Qualls being the best choice, and Yes, you should replace Ryan with him

 

[avoiding injuries]

NOT George Sherrill.
