2K19: Closer and Bullpen

[Sour Masher]

Sounds like Familia is getting dealt to Oakland.

Lugo or Gsellman to close for the Mets?

[Judge Jude]

the Mets have no idea, so....

Major meltdown by BearClaw today. Handed a 4-1 lead in the 9th, gave up 5 runs, all earned, including a walk-off GS to Daniel Robertson. ERA went from 1.45 to 2.45.

Yeah, it was bad. My silver lining is maybe this scares off anyone who was about to overpay for him. I have a feeling he sticks with the Marlins this year, as the closer. Not many save opps though.

BEARCLAW EATEN ALIVE BY RAYS

i have to decided who has the best chance of being closer this year Britton or Yates. i guess i'll go with Yates.

Yes, Yates is now the closer in SD. He should remain that unless he gets traded. Rumors are that Britton will get dealt to the Stros, where I think he would serve as a MR, as he is a lefty, and Rondon has been great. I'd hate to think Rondon would get displaced again despite pitching great, as he did on his last team.

Who would replace Britton in Baltimore? Brach and Givens have sucked. Brach more than Givens. Perhaps it would be one of those situations where you don't want either of them.

Given that both Givens and Brach are on the trade block, in a deep league, I'd go with Paul Fry on a wild SWAG.

For those of you who saw "Andrew Miller moved to 60-day DL", do not panic, do not reach for the emergency door, and do not run for the exits. Purely an administrative move for a waiver pickup. He still is eligible to come off the DL mid to late this week.

Deadline approaching, revisiting best spec stashes if current #1 is dealt. How would you rank in order of most likely to get bulk of saves ROY to least?

Hughes
Stammen
Brach/Givens
Diekman/LeClerc
Hildenberger
Steckenrider/Ziegler
Alvarado/Castillo
Fry/Nate Jones

Fry/Nate Jones

Nate Jones had more issues and was shut down last I read.

[Roy Hobbs]

Jose Leclerc is one to look at since Kela and Diekman could be traded. His numbers are pretty damn good. Could be a very good shark move.

Britton to Yanks. Now begins the rush on Brach and Givens.

[Msaint]

ROTOWORLD: Baltimore is getting pitching prospects Dillon Tate, Josh Rogers, and Cody Carroll, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post. Britton will move into a setup role in New York, which obviously does severe damage to his fantasy value, but this is a great addition for a Yankees bullpen that already ranks No. 1 among all major league teams in both combined ERA (2.75) and strikeouts. An official announcement from both the O's and Yankees should be coming soon
