Diekman? What kind of option will he be?

My $$ is on Wendelken

I think maybe 60% Diekman and 40% Wendelken/Romo ... but if Rosey is out a while, that could still be enticing.

Alex Reyes named Cards' closer.

whoa ... I have been following that 'pen closely & got two shares of Reyes this spring, but still didn't expect him to be named outright closer ... feeling lucky ...

Seems similar to the Carlos Martinez path a few years back.

Is Merryweather possibly the guy (or a guy) in Toronto? Or is it Romano?

What about Kennedy vs. Bush in TEX?

I'm mad at myself. I had Reyes and Romano and didn't keep either. Neither had the job at the deadline, but still annoying to lose the value.

I think Romano is the guy, but it was extra innings and he'd already pitched the 9th.

I think Kennedy has the edge in TEX but that one is still very unclear.

Pagan came into the game in the 7th inning of a tie game.......

ETA:
Pomeranz takes the 8th up one run............i think that leaves Melancon

Yep and Melancon had no problem setting em down Crazy game, Shitty umpires all around.

Jason is a fan of Merryweather and he looked dominant. Throwing 99 with movement with an 80 MPH change up. But as JC said, Romero pitched the 9th. Dolis pitched the 8th so I'd say Merryweather is 3rd in line for now.

there will definitely be some mixing & matching, esp as guys go 2 days in a row or some games go into extras ... I could see Merryweather getting 5-10 saves but assuming no implosions or injuries I think the order is for the most part set

Yep, Dolis-Romano in the 8th and 9th is how I expect it to go, though Merryweather could slot in for either to limit workload.
