Turnbow or Adams?

I just dropped Adams for Turnbow within the past hour, and then this thread pops up. Ain't that some s***.

 

I have Armando Benitez, Joe Nathan, Mike MacDougal, and Derrick Turnbow to supplement my starting crew of Pedro Martinez, Chris Carpenter, Brandon Webb, CC Sabathia, Gustavo Chacin, and Dan Haren. Should I go with 7 starters and 3 closers? I dunno. When Jeremy Affeldt gets off the DL and takes over for MacDougal, I'll probably pick up another starter. But for the time being, it's a nice luxury to have four closers.

Burgos is now the official closer for KC. KC doesn't close much of anything so you'd be better off avoiding that mess.

Burgos? Damn, I need to log in and check my s***! I'm snatching that dude up. Someone's gonna bust out Kolb-style this year, and it'll probably be on a really weak team.

I'll say if you are relying on either of these guys for saves you are a longshot to win your fantasy league.

 

At the time, this was right on the money.

 

But since April 24, Turnbow's stats:

 

4 Saves

3 Wins

2 hits allowed in 11 innings

 

Unbelievable.

 

You knew that a couple guys would emerge this year. Last year, you had Kolb, Cordero, etc. This year, Turnbow and Lyon are coming on strong.

My closers in a 12 team league.

Krod

Rivera

Gagne(get Healthy)

Hermy (4 saves hope he is permanent

Turnbow

Urbina (dont know if I should drop him)

 

I tried out macdougal from kc, big mistake. I tried fassero from SF after benitez went down, and just missed brandon lyon off free agency.
