Have a team that started last night and I made a crucial and probably costly error building it and not getting myself a top notch closer. Now with the funds I had available I had to settle on Weathers. Has anyone had any success at all using him as primary closer??? Or am I better off going closer by commitee with some of the cheaper guys? Here is my team link and thanks in advance for any opinions you strat maniacs have on this!! Loobee

I think you need an umbrella leo.... :wink:

Seriously, I think Weathers will struggle mightily in Cell...especially with such a weak compliment of relievers. Also do not like Davis or Zambrano here, just give up too many HR's...

I could be wrong, and I hope I am! :)

Never mind your closer, no one is going to get to the ball. If its not going over the fence, it will be going through your infield untouched. And once it gets past your infield, no one in the outfield will be getting to it anytime soon either.

I had him post these awesome stats in Fenway in a $60 league. I agree with the assessments of your team though.
