I decided to pick up Manny Corpas for the few save chances he might get this week. The question was which of my end-of-bench relievers to drop — Jose Veras or Jose Arredondo?
I see Veras and Arredondo as about equal, both in abilty and in their slim-to-none chance of picking up any actual saves (thus the justification for dropping one of them for the less talented Corpas). Veras pitches behind the ageless Mariano Rivera while Arredondo waits for his moment behind 50-save-man Francisco Rodriguez.
So it’s really a toss-up. What sold me was one thing. Veras and Arredondo will get rocked eventually. If it’s going to happen to Veras, I expect the Red Sox to do it. This week.
Update: Wow.
