You don't need 5 closers. Make that deal and don't look back.

Anyone else?

True. And you especially don't need five closers when saves is just one of 15 pitching categories, and one of the other ones is blown saves, where closers hurt you.Ortiz is the type of guy I look to get in screwy scoring systems, because he's so good all around. I'd do this for sure.

Well BS do not count, but I get your point. My real fear is the my other closers may not hold up. Sherrill has been a pleasant surprise for me, and Lyon...well who knows there

sure, make the trade.

if you didn't have a single pitcher on your entire staff, you'd guarantee winning 7 out of the 14 counting pitching categories. if you only had 1 RP throw one 1-2-3 inning (to get a 0.00 WHIP), you'd guarantee winning 8 of 15 total.

This is assuming there is no min innings needed to qualify (a must in this type of format).

Correct. It is a 50 inning minimum/week.

I'm a bigger fan of Sherrill than most, so if they'd take Lyon instead I'd feel more comfortable.
