I have four closers anyway, but being relievers-only, another can't hurt. Even if Fuentes takes over I figure Corpas would have plenty of value as an MR - especially as my league counts holds. After Lee and Gaudin, why would I doubt you? ;-) Zimmerman got cast to the wire the other day, but apart from that, nothing much has wound up there.

This Rockies team thinks they can compete so they're going to do whatever it takes to win. If that means bumping Corpas, they might. But with all of that said, what are you going to do with your waiver pick? Is this league filled with people dropping good players? Do you really need saves? All I know is until Hurdle says Corpas is no longer the reliever, he is the reliever and if you have a #1 waiver pick, I use it on Corpas. @Steve: I don’t think Corpas loses the job indefinitely, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Fuentes (who hasn’t been that great either) starts to factor in.

I have my waiver claim in for Corpas. What say you now? It's been no day for relievers in Coors today...

I have my waiver claim in for Corpas. What say you now? It’s been no day for relievers in Coors today…

But he has not yet. You gotta pick him up. I think Corpas *may be* in trouble of losing his job. But he has not yet. You gotta pick him up.

Plus, Corpas has been dropped in my league and I have the #1 waiver spot. Should I? So would I but my guys have given up 8 runs in, like, 5 innings so needs must.

Could either Boof @ Oakland or Hammel v Toronto tomorrow help me out? Guys - Bell, Broxton and Izzy have made something of a ‘dent’ in my ERA and WHIP today.
