  • Cheap saves

    Who are you guys targeting for late round saves?

    I went after Fulmer and Puk. I can't see Boxberger lasting very long in a ninth inning role for the Cubs. So, I think it will end up as Fulmer by default there. And I really think Puk has elite closer potential. Although he has to surpass Floro and Barnes. So, Puk is probably more of a second half guy for saves.

      This is unlikely to be the case in most leagues, but I was surprised by how cheap I got David Robertson. I think most in my league assume the deep pocketed owner will trade for a closer, but Robertson has been successful before and if given the chance, I think he can run with it. I also got Ottavino as a handcuff for only $1, so its not like my league thought it would be him. And I landed Edwin Diaz for a trade chip or as a keeper next year. Now just waiting for him to be put on the IL. No idea why he isn't on there yet. But I got the trio for the price I thought I'd have to pay for just Robertson.

      Another guy, who I did not get, that went cheaper than expected, was AJ Minter. I guess my league has faith that Iglesias' injury is minor.

        I like Puk.

              The A's really want Trevor May to be the guy, so they can deal him away at the deadline. He hasn't pitched well this spring, so you can get him for $1 or so late.

                In our 12 team NL-only, I kept a $3 Hunter Harvey and drafted Yency Almonte late in the reserve rounds. I also kept a $1 final year $1 Floro and an $8 Doval.

                  Nice find. I didn't realize he had emerged as the frontrunner to be the primary closer, but it looks like he may have!

                    Bryan Baker in Baltimore is a long shot but I like him. Another long shot; Ron Marinaccio. If Holmes gets hurt again or falters, I could see Marinaccio getting a chance. Twelve Ks in 6 IP this spring. I also like Hunter Harvey as ThatRogue mentioned.

                          I had McGough in my queue but got talked into outbidding the defending champ on Ozuna for my final roster spot. But thankfully he went undrafted so I'll put a FAB on him on Monday as I have to move Altuve to IL.

                            I've grabbed Graterol in all my leagues, so that assuredly is the wrong decision.
