    not bad... start Shoppach instead of Hernandez though! And I am surprised thou blabbed Billingsley so late. However, you do need a closer..

    Having a couple of consistent closers can absolutely make or break a fantasy team...they tend to put up more regular numbers than most starters. So I'd definitely try to get somebody.

    Devine is supposed to be fighting for the closing role, and doesn't Heath Bell close?

    Yes Bell is the closer and Devine isn't really fighting for it so much as waiting

    Ah yes, that's it.

    Darn, and I was hoping Arredondo would take over that spot.

    I was thinking I might need to shore up the last spot in my OF a little bit.

    The pitching's OK, but the offense sucks. You've got a good middle infield and one good outfielder, and that's about it.

    From my personal experience, I disagree (however I think they are more valuable in roto than H2H leagues), though I may have one of the more unorthodox drafting strategies around
