Arenado Vs. Chapman

I'm in a 5x5 14 team 7 keeper league. I have 6 keepers set . I can either keep Arenado or Chapman. One thing to note.

The Starting Pitching in this league is designed to mimic a real rotation. We can only play 5 Starting pitchers at a time. No swapping unless your willing to drop a pitcher . We have 2 closer spots, so 7 pitching slots total.

I'm pretty torn on this decision. On one hand, I despise keeping a closer but for Chapman I'd be open to making an exception. He is dominant in his ratios and aggregate strikeouts.

Sure that you don't want to keep both of them and cut Dickerson? Or are you going to be able to get either cut guy back on your roster? Draft or Auction?

If salaries are not an issue, I'd keep both and cut Dickerson. If you are only keeping one, I'd keep Chapman. He still has some room to get better, and is one of the safer bets among closers.

Thanks for the response, It is a draft. Can't keep both , I'd be giving up Arenado for a draft pick that I would be dealing for Chapman. It's essentially a swap.

I'd probably keep the hitter at that point, unless there were no good closers available in the draft. If that's the case, bite the bullet and deal for Chapman...
