Thanx, " Dmvincent" 4 great thread...
That's exactly what I wanted u guys 2 ask... I have dilemma who 2 pick now:
T.Wilhelmsen ( 119 fantasy points ) or
R.Cook (61 FP- higher upside IMO, but less points )
I'm in 3 rd place and can improve by 70 FP if I'll take Wilhelmsen...
I care only about this year and i have a chance 2 improve w / this pick a lot...
What u think should I take him or he's just there 4 short term?
Thanx, in advance

I would go with Cook if you can wait a bit. Wilhelmsen is good, but Stephen Pryor is a guy I really like to eventually snatch the M's closer role.

Sorry, DM...
I didn't see ur last post and response 2 my question...
As i understand u wright, u would take R.Cook over T.Wilhelmsen ( even though, I think, S.Pryor left today's game ?)
Thanx , in advance... Always listen and respect ur opinions...

I like both of them, Cook may end up with a lower ERA, but Wilhelmsen has the closers role as we speak. If you need saves, go with Wilhelmsen.

League was bound to blow up sooner or later, I remember watching him when he played with the Jays, I knew he wouldn't last as a closer in this league.

Thanx "Dm"
According 2 ur tread, u put T. Wilhelmsen all by himself...
Is there any reason that u didn't include B.League in that completion, or u think he will not take over 9 th inning, or u think, Seattle gonna trade him soon?
Please, give me ur always respected opinions
P.S, I need 2 pick soon...
Thanx, in advance

( Wilhelmsen Vs R.Cook )

Yes, because Wilhelmsen now doesn't have to worry about Pryor. It will take a huge collapse on his part in order for the M's to give League a chance again. I think League will be traded to another team and become the setup man.
