**Brosive** · July 10, 2012, 12:10 PM

Out of these closers: Axford, Street, Valverde, Motte, Myers, Reed, Clippard, Betancourt...
Which 2 would you choose to roll with for the rest of the season?

Thanks

I'd go with Motte and Valverde.

I have a hunch the Tigers are going to be great in the second half.

Motte and a bit off the board but give me Clippard

**gfhyde** · July 10, 2012, 1:53 PM

Motte and Valverde or Axman.

**chowder** · July 10, 2012, 2:17 PM

My intuition said Motte and Valverde and I'm glad the other posters also thought that.

I agree Tigers are bound to be better over the 2nd half.
I don't think i'd put much weight into Clippard. He's done well, but Storen is coming back, and the Nats have lots of other potential closers as well that he could easily lose the job if he falters.

Motte and Valverde. Reed worth considering over Motte imo.

**tylerzx2002** · July 10, 2012, 2:47 PM

I'd say Motte and Clippard, with Axford and Valverde in the next tier down.

**bluejays** · July 10, 2012, 10:49 PM

Motte and Reed or Valverde.

Motte
Betancourt

Clippard as well

Valverde is overrated imo, a era killer

I was just going to hop in and say Betancourt isn't getting enough love...

It's mostly because he sucks

**djkiang** · July 12, 2012, 11:15 AM

Motte and Axford.

Very under rated, but Col is falling out. At his age is he not a trade possibility for someone?
Fantasy value may take a hit if he's moved to be a set up guy.

Just want to get this thread going again.. a bit has changed since last time..
Motte is no longer available, and Axford has lost the closers gig..

so once again, out of these closers : Axford, Street, Valverde, Myers, Reed, Clippard, Betancourt

which 2 do you feel most comfortable with going forward.

I was a little surprised Street didnt get a mention at all last time, even though he probably has the best stats out of the bunch

I have Clippard, Valverde, and Axford right now but have been losing the Saves category pretty consistently with them.. and my ERA and WHIP have been hurting

I feel like the thing to do is to get Street and Reed while dropping Axford and one of Valverde/Clippard

Thanks again for the help
