@Patrick DiCaprio: Weird cause I tracked your IP and it showed you found this post by Googling, "get jiggy" + "in flip-flops"

there is about one too many gay references in this article…Corpas and Fuentes is an interesting battle, too close to call but I have to bet on Fuentes since he actually has the job and both are roughly equal, skill wise.

@Steve: The Rockies just gave him a big deal and he's a righty. He just needs to figure some stuff out. He's not done.

And my waiver claim for Corpas has gone through. Oh well. As long as he doesn’t suck in the 8th as well I’ll be happy.
Reckon he gets a few more saves before it’s all over…

Thanks for the Fuentes info. Just picked him up in one league, Acosta in another, and Rauch in a two others. I figure since there’s no clear favorite, I should hedge.

@jason: Nice. BTW, Fuentes is officially in as closer.

On an unrelated note, someone dropped Konerko in my league, and now he is mine. Mwahaha. I hope he stops sucking though.

Grey,

Thanks for the complement. Also, thanks for your great analysis. I think I’d tend to agree with your rankings. On a personal note, I picked Soriano in almost all my leagues, so I’m feeling this strong desire to handcuff Acosta to him, but it sure would be great to have Rauch and Soriano going full guns. But I’m very concerned about the reports on Soriano. As you pointed out, he’s injury prone, and this arm injury does not sound good. Cordero hitting in the 70′s on the speed gun and seeing Dr. Andrews doesn’t sound very good either. Anyway, always interesting when one is on a scavenger hunt for saves, and this year is no exception.

@Bob: Wow, great question. If they gave out Pulitzer’s for blog comments, I’d nominate yours. It’s really hard to answer cause there’s lots of variables, but here goes:

1. Rauch — Cordero seems to be having the most problems. Say 25 saves at the end of the year.
2. Acosta — Soriano’s injury-prone and having arm problems, but there’s no telling who Cox could work into the mix if Acosta stumbles. Say 12 saves at the end of the year.
3. Fuentes — I think Corpas will remain in the mix even if Fuentes takes over the role for a bit. Say 10 saves at the end of the year.

Regarding your Corpas/Fuentes comment, who do you think has got the most value going forward as a “closer” among Fuentes, Acosta (subbing until Soriano gets back, if ever) or Rauch (subbing until Cordero gets back, if ever)? Thanks.
