I need a closer for my Fantasy Team

[dcleve11]

Does anyone know of any closers that are worth picking up? Since most are taken who are worth trading for?

Re: I need a closer for my Fantasy Team

Here are some longshots in case guys like Worrell, Borrowski, Carter, Biddle, and Kline are all taken;

Matt Herges, SD - most effective of current commitee
Dustin Hermanson, STL - behind Steve Kline right now but may move in.
Jeff Nelson, Sea - until Sasaki comes back
Danny Graves, Cin - rumors of Williamson trade may put him back as closer.
Alan Embree, Bos - off the DL and throwing 90+ again
Robert Person, Bos - off the DL and may get a chance

I have Isringhausen and Nen in one of my leagues and I have been scraping the bottom of the barrel all month.

Take a look at Lance Carter... he's sporting a 3-1 record, 5 saves, and a sub-4 ERA... granted he's a D-Ray but if you need a closer, he's been getting a good amount of their save ops.

I think John Rocker should be in the Closer list. He's decent...

I think Rocker is still in the minor leagues right now, but he might be getting called up shortly

Re: I need a closer for my Fantasy Team

I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but Embree only has three pitches;
1) 90+ mph fastball
2) some junk pitch that batters hit for singles
3)90+ mph fastball that anyone and just about everyone hits for a 3 run homerun, after 3 pitch #2s

i would stay away from embree, but he might be better now...
