This is my 12-team 5x5 NL only team. They're somehow in first place, though they have a very low point total that would likely put me 3rd at the end of the season. I'm not sure they deserve to be any better than 3rd anyway. I don't have any closers (didn't have money at auction after having a so-so keeper list).
I'd like to add a closer but I'm not sure what would make sense to trade away. I realize my pitching is shaky, so a higher-lever closer who might actually help the ratios would be really good.
We have a 5-man reserve and aggressive FAAB, so the likelihood of me getting a closer dumped into my lap is very small. I could try to trade for someone like Maurer or ...yeah I'm not even sure who else... and hope for the best, but I'd hate to waste assets on a futile pursuit.
My team doesn't have any obvious strengths other than R/RBI which mostly come from volume. I don't have a ton of good keeper assets. I realize this is kind of an ugly question but I'm just curious what the junkies would think to do in a situation like this.
C - AJ Ellis $1 (thankfully we only start 1 C)
1/3/CI - Carpenter $14 expiring, David Wright $17, Brett Wallace $1
2/S/MI - Neil Walker $23, Suarez $11, Lemahieu $14
OF - Fowler $26, Granderson $24, Span $25, Jay $6, Raburn $1
UT - Stephen Drew $1, Tony Wolters $1
Bench - Bourjos $1, Culberson $5, Dan Dekker $6 (why do I keep FAABing this guy?)
DL - Inciarte $10, Ethier $3, Solarte $12
SP - Kershaw $45, Shelby Miller $13, Erlin $1, Roark $5, Bud Norris $1, Chad Bettis $2
RP - Bastardo $1, Broxton $1, Carlos Villanueva $4
Bench - Carlos Frias $1, Heston $3
DL - Ottavino $2
