@Carl: If you have to decide before the end of spring training, I think you may as well go with Molina. You can probably get Perez or Motte back for not much more than you're paying now.

Grey on the Cards website it says Larussa is not sure of handing over closing duties to Perez or Motte, I guess because of inexperience. I have a choice to keep Perez or Motte ($1 each) as one of my 8 keepers in our NL-only league. Either that or Molina at $4. Considering C is such a weak position, a .300 catcher on a good team is not bad plus I am keeping Doumit as well, so I’ll have a decent tandem at the most scarce position. I’ve noticed that closers have been extremely unstable the last couple years and to keep a very young reliever whom hasn’t even been named the closer is a bit iffy. This is why I am leaning towards keeping Molina instead. We’re in a 7 team league with 4 RP slots and we count holds, so I might as well draft my closers, as people will theoretically draft setup men as well . What do you think?

@Carl: Perez right now. Motte might see some opps.

Grey, off topic…who is closing in St.-Louis? Is it Carpernter? Franklin? Perez? Motte? All of the above?

Thanks.

@BSA: Ha, you have to watch the truck leave? Don't know what's lamer, that you watch it on TV or that they actually show it on TV. Cards leave for Jupiter in the morning, me and Fredbird can't be there, damm.

@BigFatHippo: that may be a time to say, "Eeewww!" Well I need to sign off, NESN is covering the truck leaving Fenway for Ft. Myers and I want to make sure I am well stocked with Popcorn, Beer, and my Wally The Green Monster.
