    Bail on saves?

    10-team NL-only.

    Given these standings in pitching categories (me in bold):

    ERA: 3.28, 3.37, 3.52, 3.59, 3.59, 3.79, etc.
    WHIP: 1.235, 1.238, 1.239, 1.250, 1.253, 1.286, etc.
    K: 1028, 946, 913 861, 838, 791, etc.
    W: 77, 71, 70, 65, 63, 63, 50, etc.
    SV: 79, 69, 55, 49, 47, 44, 36, 30, 12, 12

    One of the 12-save teams has Melancon, the other has no closer.

    ok, given all that, my definite pitchers: Gee, Kuroda, Leake, Marcum, Nolasco, Vogelsong

    so I need three more out of this selection...

    chasing saves: Street, Isringhausen, Parnell
    chasing wins with recently injured guys with bad comeback games: Oswalt, J. Sanchez (SF)
    good ratios, fewer counting stats: Clippard, Venters

    Should I stop chasing saves (where I can only lose one point and am going to have trouble making up much ground -- the teams ahead of me have Kimbrel, Axford, and Hanrahan)? If I want to go for saves, I probably have to start both Isringhausen and Parnell until it becomes obvious who the closer is there, and that just feels chumpy.

    In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

    with two closers you have a shot at catching the guy right in front of you, the one at 47 probably not but it might be close.

    Parnell is clearly not the closer right now and he has sucked ever since Krod was traded. I'm not sure he gets any saves in the next 1.5 months. Can you just keep him reserved?

      I agree, I wouldn't start Parnell but I'd probably give Izzy another week or two to see if you make up ground. I don't see why you wouldn't start Street as long as he's healthy.

      Start Izzy, Street and whichever SP has the better matchup. If there aren't any good matchups, start Venters.
