Thought I had a good setup/closer duo....so far they stink :evil: Granted only 24 games at Citizens BAnk park but... Gordon 1-2, 9 era, 1.40 whip, 2 hr's allowed...Jones is better...1-3, 2sv, 4 blown sv's, 11.80 era, 2.90 whip and 5 hrs allowed...by the way he does not have hr on card....are they doing well for anyone?...is it just bad luck...are they not right for park...will things even out?...should I drop one or both?...who would trade value for them?.....HELP :wink: ...all suggestions greatly appreciated :D

I really don't know where gordon fits in this year. With an R1/C1 rating, what do you do with him?? Don't see him as a setup guy or a closer with that rating and not a particularly great card. And with his price tag, he is too expensive as a spot reliever/fill in guy.

He is on a team in my league, and doing HORRIBLE! 7.71 ERA, 1.64 WHIP.

I always suggest at least an R2 for your setup guy...with an R1 rating, fatigue is a possibility in the first inning...not good for a setup guy IMHO.... :)

Jones should be fine as your closer....

Good luck!

Thanks for the input :wink: ...last series more of same, however Jones seems to be doing better...forgot about Gordon's R1...I'll check to see if it's second inning of work that he's getting clobbered...thanks again for input

These are Gordon's numbers for me in Coors:

3 1 0 0 21.1 17 11 11 8 22 4 4.64 1.17

My team just had an 8 game winning streak, they've been doing better since I picked him up. I think he has an ok card and in Coors you need lots of relief pitchers I guess. The ones I had were killing me so I had to spend the money.

On a side note, I don't think you can play the game this year with an 80 mil cap. :shock:
