Any thoughts on best backup bets for Padres & Cubs?
I’m assuming the signing of Melancon in SD places him as the closer to start the season. Safe assumption? I know his FB velocity and SwSt% were down and his K’s & whip are not good but why else would they sign him if not to close? I know injuries played a big part last year but are we looking at a committee w/Pomeranz & Pagan? I invested a little in Pomeranz last year as the guy in waiting.
Kimbrell won’t hold on to this job, will he? Looking at the rest of the bullpen maybe he can. Wick is the only name I’m familiar with and he doesn’t excite.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostI threw down on this last year, and will double down - Kimbrel will lose the closer role, and quickly. Wick's the CIW now, and unless there's a signing (Jeffress is still out there, for example), exciting or not, I'd get Wick. But monitor closely - I suspect the Cubs will re-sign Jeffress if they can get him at bargain basement pricing. Might be someone else out there, too, they might go for that would put Wick in a secondary role.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostYou could be right. I'm wondering if the Cubs will make a bullpen move just after pitchers and catchers report. But in any case, if the Cubs trot out Kimbrel to start the year, I will be avidly shopping at the Cubs Closer-In-Waiting store.

Originally posted by whalewang View PostI'm investing in Kimbrel this year as I trust him more than any other Cubs reliever at this point. Scary right?2021 Auction Anatomy

Does Hunter Harvey close for the O's? I don't see much competition. Then again, how many games are they going to win at all, much less close-able ones??? (Sigh; so sad to see my beloved O's in this state. At least their farm is finally decent.)"Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?" Albert Hofmann

Even though the O's will be bad, Harvey should still save 25-32 games if he lands the sole closer role.I'm just here for the baseball.
