@Josh: Weathers would be the backup, but unless Cordero's hiding an injury he's still the closer. Bill Bray has the best stuff, but he was injured himself so if you want to back him up, Weathers looks like the "best" choice.

Coco Cordero got rocked again. is it possible the off-season foot surgery messed with his mechanics? I think it’s time to start seriously considering picking up his backup, esp in a league I where have him. I just don’t know who it is. Weathers? gross…

@Junker23: Votto would be a great target, if you can get him.

K, I’m officially scared of owning Marmol now. Acquired him via trade, but now I’m thinking about shopping in for a utility guy. Would Votto be a decent target?

@Grey, I promise this will be my last question on this thread. Now, if Lindstrom’s injury appears to be lingering at the start of the season but they keep claiming it’s nothing too serious (but obviously nobody really knows), and Franklin is initially awarded the closer slot, do you take your chance with Franklin who could be a full-time closer until he loses the job, or still go with Nunez who might only hold onto the job until Lindstrom’s healthy? (for an unknown period of time–maybe a few days, maybe a few months)

@ Grey Joe S. has a nice ring to it other acceptable names are Max Power, Peter Lemonjello or Kenny Powers

@Joe S.: No worries, also I changed your commenting name. Feel free to change it to something else, but Joe is taken.

@JG: I'd grab Nunez -- Franklin and Motte (and even Perez) are still battling.
