Crosby is such an injury risk he has no fantasy value...cut him and if you need depth then look at Troy Tulowitski or Khalil Greene (another injury risk but a far better upside and he is killing the ball this spring)
Gagne seems to be in good form although he has lost some off his fastball...wait him out as I think he will claim the closer job pretty easily
Martinez will be out for most of the year if not the entire year....cut him now!

Bobby Crosby has the tool to become an elite SS someday for Oakland. However, injuries has limited his potential to become a star, much like Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, or his own teammate, Rich Harden. If healthy, he can pack 20 HR and 70 RBI in his position, but his spinal fracture might limit his mobilty to become a star, so he's a high risk kind of player.
Looking into indication, Eric Gagne is feeling healthy with no implication of pain whatsoever. If his health stays in tact, look for a bounce back season for the former Cy Young winner. Otherwise, pick up Akinori Otsuka just in case if there's any complication to Gagne's injury.
Martinez is showing good progress after off season surgery, but he's still recovering from an rotator cuff surgery that will keep him until the All-Star break at least. His effectiveness is in question after all the wear and tear lead to his worst season as a starter (9-8, 4.48 ERA, 137 K in 131 innings). His age (35) and his innings pitch (2645 career innings pitched), as well as his injury, might have taken a toll on his arm and we might have seen the best of his career pass by.

Crosby is worth dropping. Gagne could be good, gotta see how he holds up. Put Pedro in your DL spot and wait to see what happens. He will be out at least half the season. If you don't need the DL spot for anyone important, keep him there. Grab Otsuka( Rangers), he closed for them last years a did well. Then you got Gagne backed up incase he has problems. I'd bet he will have problems, and I doubt very much he will ever return to the dominant closer he once was.

Bobby Crosby is good but unfortunately the last few years he has been bitten by the injury bug. Alternatives to Crosby that usually are available to pick up are Stephen Drew of Arizona and Kahill
Greene of San Diego. Greene too has injury problems but is
a slick fielding shortstop...I picked him up when Crosby was drafted onto my team.
Gagne will be the Rangers closer as of today but if he is available I would also pick up A Otuska who was the Rangers closer last year just in case Gagne goes down.
Pedro is scheduled to return sometime after the All Star game in mid to late to July.
Hope this helps and good luck!

do not drop Crosby yet, I heard if he dosent get hurt maybe have a great year, try and get another good SS, and put crosby on the bench.
gagne for now trowing well, but try to maintain 3 RP on your team, in case of gagne got hurt.
drop Pedro he is not coming back until august.

First,u shouldn't be drafting any of those players if u wanna win your league.
Crosby is a problem if he's on ya team. Greene from SD is a better choice. U should have posted ya team. Maybe someone can play SS.
Gagne will close but the question is how healthy is he? Already had a set back this spring
Pedro will be back no earlier than July and that's wishful thinking. Mets won't rush him 'cause they won't need him 'til the playoffs. Assuming they get there
