Camp or Russell
Who will get more saves?
Re: Camp or Russell
You mean who do you SPECULATE will get more saves.
It looks to be a matchup situation which would favor Camp, though before last night, usage (in the 2 games since 5/27 where one could judge) suggested Russell.
The bottom line is neither is likely to get more than 5 or so saves - and the damage they could inflict to ERA/WHIP far surpasses the possible point or two in saves.
If forced to choose, I would take Russell since he is a slightly better pitcher, though that even comes with a caveat since he primarily faces lefties and if he had to face right-handers (as a closer) he would likely be exposed.

You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord

Re: Camp or Russell
agree that there is no real way to handicap this but I would also give Russell the nod and picked him up in one league

Re: Camp or Russell
Considering we're talking about the current worst team in baseball, can the answer be "None of the above"?shif6 wrote:Who will get more saves?
These are my views based on my own opinions and observations - your mileage may vary.

No, but it could easily be someone not currently on the rosterda_big_kid_94 wrote:Considering we're talking about the current worst team in baseball, can the answer be "None of the above"?shif6 wrote:Who will get more saves?
