Default Should i pick up Mike Adams?

Hey well nathan blew another save today. How long do you guys think Nathan leash is for the closer job? Mike adams and Ogando are both available. I think i heard that they like having ogando in their pen to pitch multiple innings so i would guess that adams would be the guy to get the job if nathan keeps blowing games. Do you guys think i should pick him up? If so who would you drop?

I would replace Milone with somebody.
They just gave Nathan a big 2 year deal.
Even though Adams is better, then won't yank Nathan for quite awhile.

your team is solid. i don't see any obvious drops. how about a trade? offer a 2-for-1 (maybe capps+ another player) for a slight upgrade. drop the throw-in and pick up adams. even if he does not close, he is a great pitcher.

very hard to say who would take over if they stop using nathan at closer. they have a lot of depth in the pen.

Nathan's leash is long and besides being a little unlucky, has shown excellent command of his pitches thus far.

Never a bad idea IMO, Adams is a secret weapon in fantasy. I'd drop either Schafer or Capps for him. Probably Capps because the Twins are not a good team and he's a shaky closer.

adams is in the 2nd spot, but ogando could close if adams falters in the opportunity. all of that is based on a nathan melt down, and that is not a sure thing at all
