Which RP to pick up

Leead by Leead . Apr 18, 2008 6:17 PM . Permalink

Every RP that is not a closer is available in my league, I want to drop Wandy Rodriguez for a reliever, to help my ERA and WHIP out.

Who should I get?

Is this even worth it?

I'm think Bell, Marmol, Fuentes, or Okajima, and leaning towards Marmol but I'm not sure.

Is he worth owning?

  O, good point. So do you think it's worth losing a starter spot?

  The problem with Betancourt is, if he's a closer, he'll only get 9th inning oppurtunities, meaning low IP's, meaning he won't help my WHIP and ERA that much.

    Closers usually get around 65 - 70 IP per year. Thats only a 30 IP difference out of 1250 IP (depends on league settings). The net effect on WHIP and ERA from 30 IP is probably negligible.
    A good closer is way more valuable than a middle reliever because of the saves.

    He;'s average at best, and I don't care about the 5 saves he'll get if he posts an above 3 era.
    
    It's down to Bell, Marmol, and Broxtan. I don't know who to choose though.
