Frasor or Aardsma?
Frasor or Aardsma?
So I drafted Brandon Lyon about a day before they anointed Fernando Rodney closer and now have ZERO saves thus far through the year, the A's finally sent down Gallagher so I can reserve him and would like to vulture some saves in the meantime if possible.
So those two are the obvious ones...other options may include...
Okajima, CJ Wilson, or maybe being sneaky and grabbing Isringhausen on the spec play. I could IR Izzy next week for another transaction fee.
Thoughts?

Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
I suspect Frasor is still behind Downs so it is really a dart throw.
Is Cruz in KC available? There is some concern Soria might be out longer than the weekend.
At some point, you have to ask yourself "how many saves do I need to get points in the category", and decide if chasing them impacts the other categories - especially if you have none.
Sometimes adding 10 onto 45 gets you 3 or 4 points.
But adding 10 onto 0 may get you 1 point.

Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
Hey Todd,
Just updated my sig as I realized I hadn't fixed it since a trade adding Aaron Hill, Cruz is gone, Farnsworth is free. Its a fairly competitive league so plays like that aren't an option. I currently am only running out five starters but thats more out of fear of my ERA and WHIP than anything. As it stands currently, 2 saves gets me 4.5 pts.
Alternatively the starter pool is a putrid mess of...
David Purcey, Scott Richmond, Carl Pavano, Brian Bannister. I won't list the other flotsam and jetsam I would never consider rostering.
I'm thinking if I can get to 13-15 saves on the year that might be worth about 3-4 pts looking at the current rosters.

Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
Before you commit to Aardsma, keep the name Chad Cordero in mind as an addition to that mix in Seattle. DO NOT GO THE FARNSWORTH ROUTE! That is, unless your affairs are already in order. In that case, feel free.
In the case you put up, Frasor is the best bad choice.

Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
I would go with Frasor especially for next week. Toronto has 7 games next week against kc and balt. So lots of potential saves and you may get a back to back night situation where Frasor is called upon to close out a game with Downs resting.
Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
Cordero was drafted Kid, this ain't no Yahoo league. Lol. Looks like I'll take Frasor and start posting Downs to the rotation rumors on the Blue Jays forum pages...
Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
Any chance Andrew Bailey is available? I wrote him up this week on the FAAB piece posted on the front page. He's not in the immediate plans for saves, but his peripherals look pretty good.

Re: Frasor or Aardsma?
Didn't think he would be, Trav. It was said in more of an advisory tone, that Aardsma may also have to fight off Cordero as well should Morrow falter - one more reason not to favor Aardsma.Trav The Ump wrote:Cordero was drafted Kid, this ain't no Yahoo league.

Just for shiggles ... My AL only league - in the Ultra portion? 1st round? La Porta. 2nd Round? Cortdero.
