    Default Draft Help AGAIN!!!

    Hey guys, my team is in my sig with league settings. I\'m looking at my upcoming pick in the 2nd round and trying to figure out who to take. Pretty much every established closer is gone so I\'m thinking of taking a solid holds guy with save potential. Who should I sang from this list of candidates:

    Hong-Chih Kuo (LAD - SP,RP) {Not a closer candidate, but has SP which is a bonus!}
    Dan Wheeler (TB - RP)
    Grant Balfour (TB - RP)
    Jose Arredondo (LAA - RP)
    Kevin Gregg (ChC - RP)
    Taylor Buchholz (Col - RP)
    Rafael Soriano (Atl - RP)
    Jon Rauch (Ari - RP)
    Chris Ray (Bal - RP)
    Scot Shields (LAA - RP)
    Jason Motte (StL - RP)
    Joel Zumaya (Det - RP)
    Octavio Dotel (CWS - RP)
    Manuel Corpas (Col - RP)

    Arredondo
    Kuo - won\'t get the saves, but his high K total at the end of the year will almost equal a soft tossing starter
    Motte - I\'ve been high on him since he was called up last year, so have to pick him!

    So you don\'t think Fuentes will make it as the closer in LA?

    And what about Shields? Would he be next in line or just stick to his 8th inning gig?

    I like Gregg, they will give him every chance to be the closer and taking a flyer on Ray or Zumaya might pan out, but there are risks.

    I think Arredondo might get the first call, with Fuentes possibly sharing some of the save duties. Either way I\'d probably keep those 3 for now.

    Shields would be #3 on the depth chart for saves.

    You could also take a flier on Gregg instead of Motte. Gregg will probably be first in line for saves, according to Pinella, but I still like Motte.
