    Default Need to drop a closer

    Who is the best drop from these co-closers? Need a roster spot.

    Affeldt (competes with Romo and of course a L, so at best 50% of save opp.).
    Thayer (the guy with Street out, and that is now till Sept. at least)
    Henderson (struggling and although manager gave him a vote of confidence, still competes with Axford).
    Lopez (great numbers, team just never wins)


    And is Grandal an upgrade over Iannetta at C (besides avg.)?

    Id drop Henderson.

    That bullpen has been a wreck all season long and I wouldn't want to put any kind of faith in any of their options.

    I agree, I'd only keep Henderson if you're really desperate for saves.

    I have to agree with Mac. Thayer is arguably the best option for the next 2-3 weeks btw.

    That's the thing I do need saves and right now Henderson is still the closer.

    Would anyone consider Affeldt? That's who else I'm thinking.

    OR I could keep both of them and drop Gordon who is not even swinging a bat yet. Thing is I need steals too and MI is very thin, a good keep for the last month.

    I think I have to drop either Affeldt or Henderson....

    Make sure you keep Gordon if you need steals.

    I have no problem dropping Henderson, it looks like you're in pretty good shape as far as saves go right now.

    This is why it's good to have additional resources! Thank goodness I dropped Affeldt as I first thought...,
