RP - saves?

Question

I need to add someone who will get me saves as I am currently last in my league in saves.

This is my current pitching lineup:

Cliff Lee

(Cle - SP) 111 - - - - - - - -

Scott Kazmir

(TB - SP) 69 - - - - - - - -

Jason Isringhausen

(StL - RP) NYM 196 - - - - - - - -

Mike González

(Atl - RP) Phi 387 - - - - - - - -

Ryan Franklin

(StL - RP) NYM 228 - - - - - - - -

Andy Pettitte

(NYY - SP) ^ Bos 224 - - - - - - - -

Justin Verlander

(Det - SP) ^ @Sea 108 - - - - - - - -

Todd Wellemeyer

(StL - SP,RP) NYM 272 - - - - - - - -

Erik Bedard

(Sea - SP) Det 39 - - - - - - - -

Tim Lincecum

(SF - SP) ^ ChC 82 - - - - - - - -

Adam Wainwright

(StL - SP) DL

I'm thinking of dropping Isringhausen for Brandon Morrow. Other options for saves are picking up Eric Gagne/Joe Borowski/Scott Downs/Manuel Corpas/Rafael Betancourt.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Hey I say pick up Morrow and drop wellemeyer he has not done well in his last starts and morrow is doing very well. Pettitte might also be a possibility but in my mind Wellemeyer who I have in one of my teams is not doing so well for me right now. Maybe also franklin cause your Isringhausen will be the closer soon.

Answer 2

I'm dealing with the same situation.  I am in need of RPing.  I have Lyon, Saito and Marmol.  Lyon is killing me with two BS/L in the past four.  Marmol has lost his touch and opponents are hammering everything he throws.  Saito has not excatly been adding saves to his list as expected.  I'm considering picking up Morrow.

In your case, I'd drop Wellemeyer for Morrow.

Answer 3

Brandon Morrow 4 sure.

Answer 4

Def Don't drop Wellmeyer as the other guy said. Its a tough call on Jason becuase he may get the job back as Franklin been a lil rough as of late. It really is a tough call. I would def want borowski on my team. He def going to start getting save oppertunities. Its like saying the tigers will suck all year with that lineup. Just won't happen.

I think you are in a losing situation here where whatever move you make won't make you feel warm inside. I might think of trading Lee for a Closer and a Bat of whatever your needs are. That be more the route I would go. Maybe K-Rod and someone or Nathan. Just make sure you get a top closer along with a bat. Pitching is very easily moved. You look and Loshe has been 4-0 on the month, Mark Burlie been on fire last 4 starts. So there are guys who are hot who are FA in a lot of Leagues. I would say try to make a trade before you drop any of those guys.
