Who would be the better closer in MM....Howry or Hoffman? Also who would be the better 2nd baseman in MM...Castillo or Polanco?

1)Neither closer is ideal. Howry because of his low C* rating and Hoffman because he's not that good. If you can afford Howry, Nathan would be much better. If you want to spend less, Krod or Hermanson for a little more $$$ would be much better than Hoffman IMO.
2)Neither 2b is ideal either IMO, unless you are trying to supply punch vs lhp's and expect to face a few. In that case, I would try Castillo for his better defense and power potential vs lhp's. Polanco is OK too though.
