Sounds like it'll only be for the minimum 15 days, but I'm hard-up for saves in my AL-only league. Any idea who will close? O'Day? Strop?

Darren O'Day: 6-1/3 IP, 6 H, 4 BB, 2 ER, 4 K ... 2.84 ERA, 1.58 WHIP.
Pedro Strop: 5-1/3 IP, 2 H, 6 BB, 1 ER, 7 K ... 1.69 ERA, 1.50 WHIP.
Very small sample sizes, but if you had to go by those numbers, O'Day and Strop are putting too many on base. Oliver's numbers are clearly better than Rhodes' although it's not like he's blowing it by anyone. Oliver's actually been very good for a couple years now. I'd put my money there if you put a gun to my head.

I went ahead and bought Strop, as he was the only one available in my league. The manager said he'd use any one of the three, so who knows?
Ya gotta love Arthur Lee, though. He was awesome in '97 and then again in '02. He wasn't bad in 2001. He used to go for a ton back then.

What's amazing is that Arthur Rhodes & Darren Oliver, two of baseball's most durable pitchers, have combined for almost 1,500 major league appearances over nearly 40 seasons and have just 36 saves between them. Oliver is bizarre: a save this season, one last season, then none since 1994!

Originally posted by B-Fly View PostDoes everyone think that this is just for two weeks until Feliz comes back into the closer's role, or is it possible that if Oliver and Rhodes perform well holding down the 8th and 9th for a few weeks, they'll bring Feliz back as a starter?Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!
