Note the "That's Debatable" link brings you to the MLB page of ESPN because the Disney affiliate does not put it up live until close to 1PM. I don't like it.

Many struggle to find the links to the ESPN chats. Making this one harder to find doesn't jibe with customer friendliness.

Nate Silver on ESPN’s fantasy focus’ 2nd half preview stated that his 2nd half sleeper is Manny Corpas. He thinks he can get 15-20 saves in the 2nd half. That seems like alot especially since he isn’t closing yet, Fuentes hasn’t been traded and they only have about 67-68 games left to play.
But I’ll take them if he’s right.

Ravitz?

Agree. Most fantasy analysis isn’t taking into accoutn the second half of the season doesn’t equate to the the numerical value of half the season.

If the Rox have 66 games left unplayed. How many save opportunities does Corpas need to get 20 saves? 23? How many fo the games the Rox win will have save opportunities? And so forth.

How many games will remain before the Rox change closers? If the Rox are looking for the equivalent of two 1st round picks for Fuentes, he isn’t getting dealt until close to the 7/31 deadline.

15 may be outlandish. Never mind 20.
