About 90 minutes before the list was due, the Melancon news came in and I begrudgingly added him. Unless, he gets the 9th, he may be an albatross. Maybe the only good play in SF is Beede, but then their rotation is so banged up, they can't spare him there.

You can look at these pitchers and gauge the quality and flavor of the whole pen almost without err. Except Texas and Baltimore, maybe Min. It's not surprising the NL pens have deeper quality.Ad Astra per Aspera

I think the Closermonkey list is definitely wrong on several of these.
I would be shocked to see Washington turn to Kintzler before Madson, or Miami turn to Steckenrider before giving Barraclough a shot first. PHI would likely look at Hunter or Neshek before Morgan. And Tuivalala in STL - is that assuming Leone is already the closer and Gregerson stays hurt? Even then I think Lyons and Cecil would get opportunities before Tuivalala.

I think David Robertson stands out like a sore thumb here. Would not be shocked at all to see him get the job if Chapman had any issues. Don't really know what makes closermonkey think he's not the primary backup.

Robertson mostly illustrates why the Yankee bullpen is the best in baseball.

MIA Steckenrider - could be closing by July
WAS Kintzler - could close with Madson setting up if Doolittle goes down
CHC Edwards - anything is possible in that pen
MIL Hader - see above
STL Tuivailala - see above
NYY Robertson - will prob get the odd save chance to keep him happy
MIN Hildenberger - could close with Adams setting up if (when?) Rodney is ineffective
LAA Middleton - good chance to be closing by July

I don't think Edwards Jr. gets a sniff at the closer role no matter what.
It seems Joe is done with in in that regard. It would not surprise me to see Wilson or Cishek get the opportunity if should arise.
It will not surprise me if the Cubs rent a reliever before the trade deadline.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!
