in my fantasy baseball league, i have John Smoltz for my closer. Someone has offered me in a trade Eric Gagne for Smoltz. Should I do the deal?

I have both in a league, but I think Smoltz will save more because
the Braves will win more games. So my answer is no I wouldnt take that trade.

Gagne is a beast. I watch the Dodgers like a hawk and I think he's easily the best closer out there. He will get you an avg of 2 K's per inning and hardly ever gives up runs.

Smoltz is the same, except far less K's.

The Dodgers are in a hitting slump currently, so they will not have much run support for a while. This means a lot of close games in which Gagne will be a part of.

*shrug* It wont matter either way.

But both are great closer but Smoltz will end up with little more saves.

Smoltz will end up with a few more saves, but Gagne is much younger than Smoltz, so if your league is one that carries over year to year, I might make that trade.

I agree with goddfather40, if it's a keeper league, you go for Gagne, otherwise, stick with Smoltz.

I agree with the others. I like gagne more and think he would be better if he played on a better team. Though, anothe angle is that because he plays on a worse team they may be involved in more low scoring games meaning more save opportunities. I think it may just be a matter of preference.

Gagne is a good closer but the problem is the Dodgers have to actually score a run or two and be ahead for him to come in the game.

I especially loved not seeing him come out at the BIG A in Anaheim this past weekend.

GO HALOS!!

If he's offering Gagne for Smoltz, he obviously thinks Smoltz is the better closer. So I would try to do a 2 for 2 trade where you are picking up a higher quality player than the one you are giving up.

If it's a keeper league, then go with Gagne, if not keep Smoltz.
