Which RP should I pick up?

Question

Heath Bell or Joel Zumaya? Does anyone think Zumaya will be the closer anytime soon?

Answer 1

If Heath Bell and Joel Zumaya are your only options I would go with Heath Bell. He put together a nice year last year and is proving it wasn't a fluke this year. His ERA is in the 2's again this year and he is a solid 8th inning man on your fantasy team. With regard to Zumaya, no he will not be a closer soon. Todd Jones is doing fine and there's no reason to change a good thing.

Answer 2

Are you in a league that counts Holds? If so, Heath Bell. Zumaya won't be the closer anytime soon. Jones has been doing well recently.

If you're in a Yahoo Public and looking for saves, may I suggest Morrow, Torres, Isringhausen (if he was dropped when he was on DL), and Mike Gonzalez? Plus, Hong Chih Kuo is doing very well now as a LRP.

Answer 3

Assuming your looking for a closer, neither of them Hoffman and Jones have pitched well. Zumaya won't be closer anytime soon. Get a different closer like Morrow, Gonzales or Torres.

Assuming you need holds, get Bell. He's the 8th inning man last season and this season. Expect a good number of holds like in 07.

Answer 4

joel zumaya is ok but hes not consistant id go with bell

Answer 5

zumya of coarse. he may close but likely not but no matter closing he is a beast and i have already picked him up

Answer 6

Heath Bell 100% for sure. He's just d**n good. However, he'll definitely be the closer if Hoffman went down w/ injuries. He'll definitely be a closer for sure if Hoffman retires next season.
