Drop one of Benoit, Janssen or Feliz for next week?

I saw your comment about Benoit coming back immediately if he makes it through bullpen session tomorrow. In the article I read Black said: "“When a player gets the bullpen and starts throwing off the mound and throwing with intensity, he’s getting closer,”  Seems a little noncommittal to me - i.e. he might bring back in non-save situations or even after another bullpen session especially with Quack pitching so well.

Even with that, BBM is projecting Benoit as my top closer next week (my championship week in H2H). Right now I have an extra closer on my bench that I have to drop before the week starts. I have to chose one to drop between Benoit, Janssen (in kind of a questionable situation himself) or Feliz (who only has 6 games -- 3vOAK and 3vLAA -- is he really even going to have an opportunity).

Thoughts?

Drop Feliz

Yes, the projections were strong relative to the true certainty level for Benoit. You have no levels of certainty with any of those closers. What if Benoit's bullpen session doesn't go according to plan? Janssen is still getting trotted out there, but not for every SV opp (Sanchez). And TEX has a brutal schedule for next week, but at least we know Feliz get the SV opps if they arise. What is your opponent's closer situation? You may be in a position to punt SV and concentrate resources elsewhere?

That is a very valid point from Matt.

I have been going with BBM advice and so far they are putting me in the money.

I thank them much.

They told me to use my resources better and now I am chasing October for rank 1 which I am leading by 1.5 points in ROTO.  For me the SB in the league are overrated where the other counting stats are ripe for grabs.  How does your situation look like, mymaus?

Good luck to you
