BTW, was just doing some research on the “world wide web” and saw this:

“Chris Resop, who has a 3.60 spring ERA in five innings, will likely serve as Pittsburgh’s eighth-inning set-up man.”

@beardcrabs,

New guy who’s never played fantasy baseball, auto drafted, and has too much pitching and no offense.

How can I NOT take advantage?

Balfour is the closer. Melvin announced it.

What are you thoughts on David Wright’s health? Are you moving Beltre, Zimmerman, and/or Sandoval past him?

@Grey, haha…well, somehow I must have thought to pick as many bats as I can. I blame ESPN for that.
I missed Beachy and Luebke by a hair, though, made me angry and I stopped going for a starter! Gonna see if it makes sense to add one now. Could also wait and add/drop during each week. Thanks anyway.

@Grey, what if you added Balfour to the mix? Ahead of Thornton, or ahead of Guerra? Personally, I like him a little more than Guerra, but that’s just because I fear the Kenley.

With Kuo dunzo, who’s going to the set up man in Sea / handcuff for League?

So yeah, I took your advice yesterday and waiver claimed Holland for Mike Adams after the Soria news came out, and then for good measure, I put a second claim on Broxton for Addison Reed (since Ventura ruled him out of the closer spot to start, though I still think he gets it at some point sooner than later). So now my RP on that team consists of Sergio Santos, Kyle Farnsworth, Grant Balfour, Greg Holland, and Jonathan Broxton. Figure that gives me a very strong chance of at least three closers and a decent shot at four (if Balfour wins the gig on Oakland), at least to start the year, plus a free roster spot when I figure out who I can drop between Broxton and Holland (though if Broxton wins, Holland might stay anyway) or even a second if Balfour loses the job.

Moochoes grassy-ass as usual Grey.

Grey – Please rate Balfour, Holland, Broxton.

Thanks

@Golfnuts, You look like you have too much speed and not enough power, and your pitching is much stronger than it needs to be…

Balfour chosen as A’s closer. melvin on choosing grant balfour as closer: “if you’re profiling the demeanor of a closer, you’d find a picture of grant balfour.”
