      • So as the dust settles...

        Chapman stays put, Hoover doesn't take over.
        Kimbrel/Benoit stay put, Maurer doesn't take over.
        Uehara stays put, Tazawa doesn't take over.

        Axford is on very thin ice, Kahnle seems lie the guy to own.
        Wilson seems like lead dog in DET.

        • John Axford, whose recent struggles on the mound have cost the Rockies dearly, is out as closer. At least for now.

          "I had a conversation with John a little earlier and I told him I was going to get him out of that ninth inning for a little bit and let him catch his breath," manager Walt Weiss said Friday evening prior to the Rockies' game against the Cardinals.

          Weiss said he has not decided who will fill Axford's role, but mentioned veteran Rafael Betancourt, hard-throwing Tommy Kahnle and Justin Miller, who has closed at Triple-A

          • Casilla brought in today to pitch the 8th and gave up 3 runs...is it Romo time?
            If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

            • Mujica got his 1st save today (perfect IP, no K's). Not sure how many more he'll get but I'm hopeful since I spent $149 FAAB on him in 1 league.

                Seems that way though I'm not sure what more Strickland needs to do to get a shot as he's outpitched them all yet is relegated to the 7th right now. My guess is Romo gets the next opportunity but Strickland may not be far behind.

                • Is Storen droppable to speculate on Tazawa? i have Papelbon, so Storen was really just insurance there, but if Koji is out a while Tazawa seems like the guy to own.

                        Closer monkey has Machi as next-in-line with Tazawa coming off three straight blown saves.

                        • Is Mujica out in OAK? I have Pom and am wondering which one to start this week.

                            I wouldn't trust either if you have any other options. Doolittle pitching at AAA on Tuesday, wouldn't be surprised if he is the closer by mid-week if that goes well.
