"everyone behind him has had a chance and has failed in the role."
Sanchez has one blown SV, I believe, but he did struggle a couple of times and then had a great stretch as the 8th inning guy while Salas was doing well in the 9th. Nobody else really got much of a chance, either, including Boggs and not including Franklin of course.
But I still agree that Salas is in a good spot right now.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

I will gladly admit that I think Sanchez has great stuff and certainly seems like a closer-to-be. But at some point (and I think you and I are both in agreement on this), one has to admire what Salas has done and concede he's probably going to keep the role for a good while.

Yeah, I think we're close to the point of needing to get a room.

With more and more talk of K-Rod being all but gone, time to jump on Isringhausen if you need potential 2nd half closer addition? Methinks yes.
ROTOWORLD: Francisco Rodriguez would accept a trade to a team where he would not be closing. K-Rod has a limited no-trade clause that allows him to reject deals to 10 different teams, but sounds willing to waive it. "If I am going to be traded, obviously I want the opportunity to close out games, but if it's going to be good teams like the Yankees or the Rays, and it's going to be for two months, I can go out there and help them out," he said. Rodriguez's vesting $17.5 million option for next season will only kick in if he finishes 55 games, something that would obviously not happen if he's acquired to be a setup man. The Yankees represent one of the only teams that would be looking to acquire K-Rod as a setup man as opposed to a closer.12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

Izzy might get the first shot but I think he implodes shortly thereafter.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.”

Originally posted by cardboardbox View PostParnell has looked great lately and given another 3 weeks to prove himself before a potential krod trade, wouldnt he be the new closer? Izzy has been good but his xFip shows that he's not nearly as good as his ERA looks and given his age, small salary, and no contract commitment for next year, I'd think he would be a trade candidate himself.

Buchholz now out indefinitely, treated for depression, fyi
meanwhile
Diamondbacks GM Kevin Towers is "hopeful" J.J. Putz (elbow) will be able to return following the All-Star break.
That would seem to be the best-case scenario for somebody with Putz's injury history, so don't be surprised if he ends up returning closer to the end of the month. David Hernandez is the early favorite for saves in Putz's absence, but it wouldn't be stunning if the Diamondbacks ended up going with a closer-by-committee approach.

Ok, 10 days ago I did not own a RP with a prayer of a SV in the next week. Now I own K-Rod, Street, and DHernandez (and Kuo and Parnell and still EduSanchez down the road).
