Cramped at shortstop?

Question

I have Miguel Tejada (acquired recently through a trade), Mike Aviles, and Yunil Escobar. I have 2 aces on my pitching staff in Tim Lincecum and Cole Hamels. After them I have Armando Gallaraga, Jair Jurrgens, Greg Smith, Fransico Liriano, and Chris Young. Closers consist of Mariano Riviera, Solomon Torres, and Manny Corpas. Even if I could trade Yunil or Mike for a CL, what "TIER" are we looking at here? Obviously not a K-Rod type.

Answer 1

maybe a 2nd tier closer. if you're lucky a bottom 1st tier.

Answer 2

2nd tier, someone like a Kevin Gregg maybe.

Pick up a sorta unknown guy if they're out there... some names:

Volstad

Danks

Litsch

Floyd

Josh Johnson

J. Sanchez

Nolasco

Answer 3

Yuni is your better trade bait. Aviles, UNFORTUNATELY, is an off again/on again SS. Not someone you COULD play everyday and hope for points.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find a good closer. You might look at set up guys. Gain K's vs Saves.
