The usual question then , if you had a free roster spot which out’ve Crow/Holland, Belisle, Grilli or Gregorson would you stash to chase saves?

@Thrilla, Agree with you that Crow is a better pitcher. I based my Holland thoughts on his leverage index being higher. Wouldn’t be surprised with Crow getting the 9th, though. He’s nasty.

Good write-up, thanks. Grabbed Rex in my HLDs league.

My only gripe is with the KC snippet. Crow has been the 8th-inning guy most of the season. He has (in my opinion) the best 2-pitch combo with his FB/SLD and he’s got a funky curve he’s been tuning up since last season.

Holland got blasted early in the season and even though I love his K/9, I think Crow has the more consistently overpowering stuff.

Tomato tomahto, but I think Crow gets first crack at the job (if, God willing, the Royals can move Broxton)

@frog, Lopez isn’t expected back until after the break, Lyon at this point. If you want to see the longer argument, I covered it last week:

@Rob Thomas, I’d hold. His HR/FB is really low, and his BABIP is a little low for his batted ball profile as well.

@Racehorse, Ubaldo for either, Herrera if you need holds, Doolittle for ratios.

Carlos Santana hurt again. Is he droppable for the likes of Rosario? I know the upside is great but he’s having trouble staying on the field and his production is way down. I’m in an OPS league, so I like the walks but still…

… or maybe Sean Doolittle for either Homer or Ubaldo?

16 team Dynasty mixer…

Drop (either) Homer Bailey or Ubaldo Jimenez (or none) for Kelvin Herrera?

Thanks!
