2K19: Closer and Bullpen

[Hornsby]

What are thoughts about Kela? What kind of year might he have? Will he close all season?

I have been offered him for Josh Bell.

my current closers are
Hand, Ziegler, Holland and that is looking like it won't cut it.

What else do you have at 1B/CI? I'm not really sold on Kela, I just don't see a dominant closer there, no matter how hard I squint.

I agree but bell is on my bench behind
Freeman
Gallo
Saeger
Franco
Or jose Martinez

He is pretty expandable for me

That makes it totally different...go ahead and do the deal.

Corey Knebel getting closer to rejoining the #Brewers. Probably by end of week at latest.

woo hoo!

Really bad outing by Neris today. Handed a 1-run lead, he didnt retire a batter and blows the save and gets the loss. 2 H, 2 BB and HBP. He also made a throwing error.

Another dominant save for Hand today as he struck out the side in a perfect 9th.

With a chance to seize the closer job yet again while Middleton is out, Bedrosian is doing anything but. Entering the 9th w an 8-2 lead, he gets an out then walks 3 straight hitters and gets taken out and another pitcher finishes out the win.

I've had several chances to pick up potential Angels closers this year and passed each time. It seems like every season it's the same uncertainty with that bullpen.

I believe Middleton is expected to be activated this some time week.

I believe Middleton is expected to be activated this some time week.

If he is healthy, and that is a big if coming off an elbow issue, I think he can hood the job. If I had to bet on one of them, I'd bet on him, assuming health.

Clippard?

Axford? They have quite a few options, including "closer by committee".
