I'm thinking that the Cardinals, Brewers, Cubs, and Braves will re-evaluate their bullpen situations around mid-May before deciding on making an offer to Kimbrel. By that time, the 33% discount (4 months instead of 6 months) on Kimbrel will be difficult to pass up for a playoff contender in need.

So Barnes pitches great again...in the 7th and 8th. Brasier the 9th for his 2nd save. Ugh.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.

They would make a nice pair in Sv+H leagues. Barnes by himself is good in that sort of league.

Seranthony in the 6th of a 2-2 game
Captain Morgan in the 7th of a 3-2 Phils lead
Robertson in the 8th of a 4-2 Phils lead
if Neris saves this game, there will be a tsunami of claims. if you're in a "pounce" league - be prepared to launch just in case
WAIT WAIT WAIT, Kapler spins the closer wheel and it comes up.... Neshek!
who allows a leadoff HR to Dozier for 4-3
double, line out, ground out, runner on 3rd, 2 out
Suzuki flies out to end it
notes on Neshek:
- he is older than dirt
- Kapler really really loves him some Neshek, though I don't see him as a one-man bandLast edited by Judge Jude; 04-08-2019, 08:42 PM.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I guess it's just time to avoid the Phillies, unless you're in leagues deep enough to roster a guy with decent ratios and an occasional save. Neris does have a monster K rate, and Seranthony might post good ratios if he ever gets his head on straight. Robertson might give you Ks or ratios. None of them are exciting to start in a 15-team mixed but I think all 3 of them are worth starting in NL only. Just not worth the $20+ pricetag that a closer would get if you drafted all over.

In my 10 teams NL league Robertson went for $23, Seranthony $5 and Neris which I drafted in the reserve/farm 6th round for $3. Both Neris and Seranthony are at good prices but Robertson $23 could end up a huge overpay. We had Kapler for couple of seasons so this shouldn't come as a surprise that a closing is being spread around. The best policy is do not make the Phillies a priority in paying top $ for a closer.

"We had Kapler for couple of seasons"
one season - it just felt like more!
I owned Seranthony, Neshek, ERamos, Hunter, and Neris at various times last season.
