AL only question

#1 Post by Blowinmudd »

I'm looking for a mid to low tier closer.
I figure this way I wouldn't have to give up way too much for them.
Would any of these starters land me a closer?
Its an AL Keeper.

Henderson Alvarez $5
Jason Hammel $10 (Will he keep this up?The sinker is working now.Do I hold?)
Felipe Paulino $3
Jerome Williams $4

who knows what anyone will pay for anyone? that list will probably net you a low end closer in some league, in others, not a chance.

you're better off targeting the few teams that have 'extra' closers and asking them yourself if any of those SPs will get you their worst closer. then you can take it back to the forum and post the details and for the peanut gallery's final blessing.

Certainly Hammel should - talk up the increased velocity and obvious results so far this year

The others depend on how desperate the potential trading partners are for a SP and how little they need that closer - but all are decent pitchers though you might get more for them with another good outing or two

Need more league specifics. How many teams, roster size, is it a keeper league. The smaller the league the better chance of landing a weaker closer.
12 team AL only 5x5 H2H keeper league. Using OBP, W+QS and S+1/2H

C - Garver $4
1B/3B - Torkelson $1, E. Durna $3 (??)
2B/SS - Royce Lewis $2, Story $13
OF - J Duran $11, Ward $7
UT -
SP - Hunter Brown $6, Ryan $22
RP - Fairbanks $6, Duran $16
Bench -

Not likely with those pitchers unless someone has an extra closer. Good luck.
