Good RP pickups?

Question

i need to get a 2good RPs.I need one that will help me in saves and one who will help my ERA.Now im using Heath Bell and Kevin Gregg but they're not performing.Who can i pickup?

Answer 1

grab grant balfour of tampa bay. he's been lights out so far this year and is currently occupying the closers job. i wouldn't bail on gregg since he's still the closer. watch for any changes though.

Answer 2

Balfour on Tampa Bay who is replacing Percival at closer.

And I also would suggest Kobayashi on the Indians who is definately now the closer.

Answer 3

We don't know who's available. I bet all the closers are taken already, so saves aren't really going to come. But I think Kyle McClellan, Jim Johnson, Chad Bradford, Scott Downs, Reynel Pinto are good pickups for ERA.

Answer 4

To the 1st post: No, Balfour does not have the closers job. The Rays are using a "closer by committee" approach. Balfour will be only 1 of 3 pitchers who will get save chances. The other 2 are J.P. Howell and Dan Wheeler. Wheeler is expected to get most of the save opportunities. I would pick up and of those 3, but most likely Wheeler.



Don't bail on Gregg yet. He is on a team that will give him plenty of save opportunities, especially if they want to have a good second half and be in the playof hunt.

Good luck!
