Should I make this move in fantasy baseball?

Question

Drop Damaso Marte for Jered Weaver (just came off waivers). I need a strong starting pitcher, and Marte won't get many saves with the Pirates and isn't guaranteed the job. Also I have 5 other Closers. What should I do?

In addition - No one in the league makes fair trades so I can't trade my closers away.

Answer 1

Under usual circumstances, I'd make that move in a second BUT----with Capps on the DL, Marte will likely be a de facto closer until Capps returns. I'd wait a couple of days and see how Marte gets used...if he does not assume the closer role from game 1, then snag Weaver. If Marte does close for now, hang on to him then get a starter after Capps returns.

Answer 2

Yes, drop Marte and pick up Jered. He has pitched well in his last three starts including that six inning no hitter.

If this is a roto league, once you get a large lead in saves, you may want to drop (or still try to trade) one or two of your closers.

Good luck. Have fun.

Answer 3

show us some other options at SP.  if there are none then go for it.  5 closers are plenty

Answer 4

Are there any other SP besides Weaver? If not id say do it since you have 5 closers
