Broxton a few weeks away from returning. Kuo is heading out to rehab.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? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Putz started out for ARI with 16 straight SV, has blown 2 of his last 3, and DHernandez with the SV tonight.
Unfortunately, Hernandez also doubled his entire season-long ER allowance in his previous game - 5 ER in 0 IP so 10 ER for season - and Putz was not available.
So don't go nuts on a Hernandez bromance just yet - but he was outstanding this year except for 2 hiccups, and went 1-2-3 tonight.
If Putz turns up with a hangnail in a couple of weeks, this would be your dice-roll...finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I want Brandon Lyon's publicist. The guy went on the DL and Melancon (who had outpitched him through the whole season) takes the closer's role and runs with it (as much running as an Astros closer can do). Then Lyon comes back and gets LIT up and Melancon gets the only save opp in the period followed by a return to the DL for Lyon. Yet Rotoworld keeps saying that Melancon now gets to keep the role because Lyon hit the DL and CBS had this gem:
The Astros announced Wednesday that closer Brandon Lyon was placed on the disabled list with bicep tendinitis. This means that RP Mark Melancon will reclaim the closer role as he did when Lyon was sidelined the first time this season.

Am I missing something or did Melancon get the only save opp AFTER Lyon came off the DL?

What teams are going to be in the market for a closer and what closers will be traded?
I keep hearing that Bell will get dealt and looking at the teams current bullpen's it seems that St Louis would need him the most. Of course I'm limiting this to teams that are in a race and can add salary. I guess maybe the Angels could use one if they don't trust a rookie or just want to sure up the bullpen.
So what rumors have people heard? I thought it would be a good time to start discussing this.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.
