David Hernandez has been outstanding for the Diamondbacks (7.1 straight No-Hit innings), but J.J. Putz is close to returning. Putz has thrown two scoreless innings in the Arizona Summer League, and will pitch twice for AAA Reno this weekend. If there are no setbacks, Putz will be activated on Tuesday. Manager Kirk Gibson may decide to give Putz the closer role again - we'll see.Comment

I wonder if the D-Backs would consider trading Putz. It would be a bold move but given Drew's injury, might not be a terrible idea. Someone might have enough faith in Putz to be willing to keep him next year at a reasonable salary.Originally posted by OaklandA's View Post

Theres no way Hernandez keeps the job. Putz was terrific before getting hurt and is it he first year of a 2 year deal with a club option at a very reasonable 6 million in 2k13.Originally posted by OaklandA's View PostAfter former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

With the way Jansen has been pitching, is there any chance he gets the call for the Dodgers this year, or are they comfortable letting him sit in his current role? Too many walks make them nervous?Comment

Is Javy Guerra possibly a long term solution for the Dodgers? I have him on the cheap and am rebuilding and am just wondering if he holds any long term value, or if he is just the guy for now. Thanks.Comment

I must say that I'm showing great restraint not chasing saves this year. There have been plenty of newly appointed closers on the WW that I've said thanks, but no thanks to. Besides the guy who has won the last 2 titles in my dynasty league doesn't give a crap about closers. He had none two years ago and one last year. I've had two all year.Last edited by Roy Hobbs; 07-25-2011, 07:15 AM.Comment

Stranger things have happened, but I still have my doubts that he would be a long-term closer. He's a perfectly fine reliever, but without truly dominant stuff, he'll eventually have a rough stretch and I don't think Jansen will mess up the opportunity this time around. Then again, if guys like Ryan Franklin can hold onto closer gigs for multiple years, all bets are off. Guerra's definitely the best bet in the Dodgers' bullpen for saves this year, but I'd still think Jansen is The Man long-term.Originally posted by frae View PostComment

In my NL-only league it's been my most stress-free year as far as saves are concerned. I kept Axford and Street for a combined $22 and have let them rack up the saves all year. I did also have Kuo as a $1 keeper who didn't pan out as an additional contributor, but even so I'm a comfortable 2nd in saves.Originally posted by Roy Hobbs View Post
My AL-only league is a different story since my only closer after the draft was Joe Nathan as a $10 keeper. Early in the year I thought I would sell high and flipped Ogando for Papelbon which I guess worked out okay since I'm still 1st in K's, ERA, and WHIP. Unfortunately, the Red Sox haven't generated a ton of save opps this year, but all of a sudden I'm gaining ground quickly with Nathan reclaiming the closer gig and Rauch turning out to be waiver wire gold (hopefully).Comment

Marmol got his old job back, missed a SV sat because Cubs got 3 in the bottom of the 8th for a 5-1 lead. I was at the Fri-Sat games in the Wrigley bleachers, and Marmol looked good (of course, everything looks good from there!).finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Didnt Marmol load the bases yesterday before getting Pence and Lee? He is very talented and very combustable.After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

I was watching and he looked good. The hits were weak and after an error he intentionally walked Barmes to face Pence (struck out on 3 nasty pitches) and then got C Lee to pop out weakly.Originally posted by Hammer View Post
As long as he isn't walking people, he will be fine.Comment

Farnsworth to be traded?
Word is the Rays are shopping Farnsworth. Who's next in line in Tampa if he's dealt? JP Howell?Comment
