Answer 1

Don't pick up Marte, because he will soon be a closer. My scouting tells me to pick up McClellan, Okajima, Guradado, Brocail, Pinto, or Johnson. These are the guys who will get a lot of holds without s******g up. But there is a bad side of this...when you pick up some players, you have to drop some players. Either it's position players, starting pitchers, or closers. So this means that you'll have to give up some of your other stats for this. That also means this might not be worth it. Because if you're going to get rid of a stat to gain a stat, why the effort? But this does actually give you half a chance at winning.

To make this easier, double the ERA and subtract it from the number of holds. If the number you get is above 9, he's worth picking up.
