I checked too, I have Texiera and Helton. I also say get rid of the can't cut list, one day trades and I say no waivers at all. Also, Keith Foulke sucks.
Not a bad pick-up, if last night's any indication. I just don't see the Red Sox as looking to keep Papelbon in the closing slot. All spring he trained as a starter. They're still shopping Wells, and fast-tracking Craig Hansen. He's in Portland now, but I bet you'll see him move quickly. To both Mantana and Shade - 10P10 and I discussed it. We have three top-ten relievers. We're williing to sell one of the three for offense. Drop one or the other of us a line and we'll tell you who's on the block.

I'll get my revenge maybe not today, tomorrow, or the day after that, most likely later is when I'll get my revenge but for now I'm going to kick Mr. M's ass in basketball.:grin:
Thanks for including holds. My guy got ZERO outs and still got credit for a hold. All kidding aside, I don't understand the motivation behind this category. What should stop us from drafting a good set up guy in the same round as a B.J. Ryan? Both get good stats, and both can win another category. Total Garbage.
Because we've been over this. A good set up reliever is EVERY BIT as valuable in baseball as a closer. Without a guy to bridge the gap from the starter to the closer, why have a great closer?
