Fernando Rodney or Joel Hanrahan?

Question

long term, for the rest of the season. Rodney's fantasy value obviously hinges on whether or not the Tigers will trade for a closer before the deadline. Hanrahan has good stuff but hasn't had a save opportunity since Rauch was traded to the D'backs.

Answer 1

I'd say Hanrahan for quality, Rodney for quantity. Hanrahan will pitch better, converting more saves, but since his team isn't that great, he won't get too many. Rodney's not that great of a pitcher, but will get more because his team is doing better.

Answer 2

rodney (i'm a tigers fan)

Answer 3

Rodney because simply he's on a better team which will give him more save oppurtunities.
