Is Kuo a good option for dynasty leagues?

by CashMoney62 on Aug 15, 2010 6:00 PM EDT

I'm in a dynasty league and have the 1st pick in my weekly FA pickup order. I am in dead last so Kuo won't do me any good this season... The guy has been so dominant, and I know he is only being labeled as a "temporary" closer for the time being, but I sense this could turn into a permanent role. If I don't pick Kuo up this week, I will probably go with a high upside available prospect, (Grant Green or Matthew Moore).

What are your thoughts? Does Kuo have a shot of opening next season as the Dodgers closer?

Kuo

I would be shocked if he was the LAD closer in 2011. They still have Broxton and Jansen who closed, and dominated, in AA this season.

I’d go with Green or Moore. Kuo is a nice reliever, but I’m in agreement with Ray on this one. There’s almost no way he’s closing for the Dodgers past this season.

For what its worth – I like Moore out of the two guys – should maintain a high K/9 and if he can keep his walks under control, he certainly has the stuff to be dominant – he likely will start in the minors next year with all the young guns that Tampa has however – it took Hellickson the better part of this year just to get a couple of starts so unless injury strikes, he will be a much better option for 2012
