Reds Block - Break time

Reds · Post by **Reds** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:21 am

A few variables to consider so it looks like break time until at least the first Zips file arrives.

What constitutes an average reliever?

Reds · Post by **Reds** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 7:37 pm

I said solid, not average;-)

Giants · Post by **Giants** » Mon Feb 15, 2010 7:39 pm

In this trade market I think solid constitutes top 5 closer, or at least that's as far as I can tell from my trade talks

Does Chad Durbin fit the bill?

Reds · Post by **Reds** » Tue Feb 16, 2010 7:43 pm

No Durbin is not a fit because all my current relievers have an ERA+ of at least 111 so it would need to be a somewhat better than that to make sense.

Romero is 114.

If you're really aiming for a VG rated defender with a better projected OPS+ than Lopez, then the list looks like this:

Chase Utley
Aaron Hill
Ben Zobrist
Dustin Pedroia
Brandon Phillips

I would aim for Zobrist.
