2K21 Closer thread

I guess it depends how much you believe in the other quasi-closers in the AL. I think Romano slides in towards the bottom of that tier. Roughly:

Hendriks
Chapman
---
Pressly
Iglesias
Rosenthal
---
Colome
Karinchak
Nick Anderson
Romano / Yates
Rafael Montero
----
Greg Holland
Matt Barnes
-----
Taylor Rogers
Tanner Scott
----
Ottavino
Pete Fairbanks
----
Clase/Wittgren
Tigers mess
Chad Green
Other Rays
Other Royals
Duffey
Diekman

fittingly the Rangers don't even make the list.

[Gregg]

Edwin Diaz feels left out. He thinks he should at least make the list and maybe the second tier.

I didn't say he was smart. I said he felt left out.

Oh yeah, forgot the stupid Rangers mess. I think I'd rank them Gregory Soto, Matt Bush, LeClerc, Bryan Garcia, IPK at this point from those 2 groups.

I mean, he'll probably return more value to AL owners than any Rangers reliever (zero is better than negative!)

Nicely played.

Leclerc doesn’t belong on any list IMO

Damaged goods now

I think where I put him would make him a $1-$3 player in AL only. You don't think he's worth that dart throw?

I may be jaded from having him on several teams and dealing with his injury over and over, but to me you are throwing away $1-$3

Add Ian Kennedy to that list, and slide him towards the top...

[Pauly]

Dont sleep on Scott Barlow (first in line imo if/when Holland is traded) and JB Wendelken (also seems like he should be first if Rosenthal gets hurt).

Kirby Yates likely off to TJ per team GM

Well then. I think I would put Romano towards the bottom of the "dudes with jobs who are solid" tier... is that too high?

How sure are we that it's Romano and not Dolis?
