Not a bad pick. I certainly hope he can be the man in that bullpen. From what I have heard, our middle relief has been quite shaky this spring, and I know Hoffman has been on the decline lately. I'd hate to see him pull a Gagne.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2009, 08:49 PM

Yeah i thought about it last round and figured if he was still there i would take him this round. If he is healthy he could be a stud if not at least he was not a high pick.

cubboyroy1826 · 03-13-2009, 08:50 PM

Just so you know Sonnenstine was on the top of my list.

Haha, you really had Sonnanstine and Blalock right at the top? How many times is that now?

sterlingice · 03-13-2009, 09:28 PM

I just don't get the love for Sonnastine- not here, but I see a lot of experts talking him up. While he does rarely give away walks, he hardly strikes out anyone and I would want to risk on someone with more upside.

FWIW Sonnanstine was at the top of my SP list as well. K/9 dropped a bit last year, but it should rebound. His H% remains low so I expect him to take a big step forward this year if he keeps missing bats.

I have to admit that my last pick was made "under duress." I wasn't paying attention to the timeline and just happened to check the thread on my dinner break. I went back to work and ran into the back and furiously navigated to the thread to make my pick as fast as I could. I really wanted Qualls. Cubboyroy strikes again! Curses!

cubboyroy1826 · 03-14-2009, 10:23 PM

Glad i could return the favor Sami.

sterlingice · 03-14-2009, 10:43 PM

I think both should make good closers- can't go wrong with either. Qualls has more competition for the job but a better team. Both have been good setup guys for a while.

Here comes the run on closers from those of us that waited until the last minute. It's disappointing that this year there are so many job shares or injury question marks at the closer position. Do you want Manny Corpas or Houston Street? How about Joey Devine (possible shoulder injury now and 60-day DL stint in the rear view mirror) or Brad Ziegler? It seems like a lot is still up in the air now.
