@Petr: Brain fart on my part. Thanks for pointing that out.

Kyle Farnsworth should be listed as next in line for the KC Royals, not the Detroit Tigers. I know the teams seems interchangeable based on last season’s performance, but come on!

@Cory: Don't make Perez your #1 closer though, Tony's still talking Closer by committee. Watch closely in the spring.

Wow Capps did come back strong. I had no idea.

I’m high on Chris Perez this year. Good team, park and solid rookie numbers. And I will sell my soul for Carlos Marmol if hes the sole closer. Even with the mid-season horrors he finished with sub-1 whip. I must have those Ks.

@BigFatHippo: Yeah, I'd draft Soria around there, definitely.

@Grey: Soria is almost a $12 Salad Lite, don't you think? If one could get him in the 8th or 9th it's a no-brainer. @peter: Just nudged Capps up a bit on my board, thanks.

Joba as closer? That’d be a waste. I think he’s much more valuable to the Yankees as a starter. Not to mention to my fantasy team!

@peter: Yeah, I really like Capps in 09. Sorry if I'm ruining your sleeper.

@Grey: re: your recommendation to Baron... yeah, I think you may be right. Capps doesn't profile as a strikeout pitcher like Soria, but his strong control could arguably put him in that Soria-like dominant sleeper category. In 54 innings last year he gave up 5 (five) BB. Recognize!
