Who is going to close in Tampa BTW??

Committee, Camp, Stokes, and Reyes primarily early in the season. Camp will definitely get some looks since he's closed before. I doubt he gets it, but I'm not an expert on this.

Standard 5x5 roto league on Yahoo with 10 teams. I went ahead and grabbed some hitters first, and then went with pitchers later on who I believe are soild 2s or 3s. Obviously hoping for some people to bounce back, but I think this is a solid team. Thoughts?

2. (13) David Wright 3B
3. (28) Miguel Tejada SS
4. (33) Joe Mauer C
5. (48) Johnny Damon OF
6. (53) Brian Roberts 2B
7. (68) Jeremy Bonderman SP

SPECIAL SKLANSKY QUESTION!!!

Should I drop Jason Jennings from my roster, pick up Mark Mulder and put him on my DL, and then pick up Andrew Miller, RP (on Yahoo, boo-yeah), Tigers?????

Plz tell me thanks lol drunkaments.

Jennings is trash so drop him, Add Mulder to DL. As for Miller, i guess if no one is left and you can deal with a dead roster spot for a while, i dont think hes getting called up until mid year tho.

[midwestkc]

I have Izzy in one of my leagues, but who will be the closer if he gets hurt? Or if he can't go everyday, who will pick up those other opportunities?

What do you think about this insane deal that was proposed to me in a 10 team keeper league?

Receive Adam LaRoche, Pit
Receive Hanley Ramirez, Fla
Receive Carlos Beltran, NYM
Receive Scott Kazmir, TB
Receive Brad Hawpe, Col
Receive John Patterson, Was
Receive Bartolo Colon*, LAA

Send Ryan Howard, Phi
Send Juan Pierre, LAD
Send Nick Punto, Min
Send Tom Glavine, NYM
Send Woody Williams, Hou
Send Bobby Jenks, CWS
Send Dave Roberts, SF
Send Melvin Mora, Bal

Notes:
I have 5 closers so Jenks is tradable.
I have Ichiro, Pierre, Furcal, Punto in my lineup for steals and Roberts on the bench.
Mora is also on the bench.
I am playing to win this season so keeper concerns are defintely secondary, we keep 6 players so beltran, hanley, and kazmir would all get retained by me.

i believe McClung is closing in TB but i could be wrong
