Matt Garza or Jonathan Sanchez? I have to drop a player..which, Brandon Morrow or Carlos Marmol? Marmol can give me Holds. But will Morrow replace Putz as the closer for the rest of the year?

  1. Either would be fine, if you need more K's (sanchez), Seattle wins like 4 games a month. Don't waste your time on Morrow. Drop him!


  2. sanchez is being consistant now... and for the 2nd question it depends if you need saves (morrow will have little since he plays for the mariners)

  3. Either way I don't think you can go wrong.  Garza pitched a nice game Thursday night and Sanchez had a pretty nice start on Wednesday night.  The only c**p shoot is neither guy has a very long track record so it is hard to tell what kind of year they are going to have by season's end.

    After referring to Yahoo Sports, it looks like Putz was attempting to be back by the All Star Break but now it doesn't look that is going to happen.  For now Marrow is the closer and if Putz keeps having set backs he could be for a while.  As far as playing for the Mariners, yeah that doesn't help you that they are awful this season, but it won't kill his chances of providing you with saves.  I have Jaokim Soria on my team, who plays for the AL Central cellar dwellers KC Royals, but he has netted me 21 saves, one better than Mr. "I Close For The Hottest Team on the Planet" Kerry Wood.  As far as Marmol goes, he has looked a bit shaky lately, but when he has been on this season he's been really good, and if you need holds you may want to keep him.  I guess it comes down to what you need more, holds or saves.

    You have a tough decision to make, good luck.

  4. garza, and for the second, it depends on who your other releiver is if u have one. in my league, you have 2 relievers, i would find a way to get both, if i could, but if I had to pick, i would pick Marmol, bc Wood could hit a dead spot and there is Marmol to take over. and  even if hes not the closer, he plays for the Cubs, who as much as i hate to say it as a cardinal fan, are hot right now, so he will have alot of offense to work with.
