Hernandez whiffed Weeks, Morgan and Hart for a 1-2-3 SV tonight.
May have the job until Putz's tendinitis subsides. Prognoses are optimistic, but this is Putz we're talking about.
Don't sell the farm to get Hernandez, but if he's an FA in a shallow league, he could pay dividends.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Originally posted by cardboardbox View Postanother legit candidate but I think he'd be behind Parnell. Parnell when healthy has the best skills after k-rod in that pen. I'm a little concerned about that finger problem he had and in his short MLB career his BABIP has consistently been much higher than normal so he isnt a sure thing at this point.
Here's hoping Rodriguez is dealt and that ESPN is right.

Originally posted by Bodhizefa View PostYour educated guess on Parnell (you're one of the only ones I've seen hedging on him so far) may end up paying dividends. ESPN is saying that Parnell will likely step in as closer if K-Rod is dealt. I picked up Parnell in a couple leagues the other day on the cheap, and I'm hoping he pays off as the season progresses. I, too, worry about his high BABIP, though.

If Parnell can keep pitching well over the next three weeks, he should get first shot at closing. Hopefully a team that will not use KRod as closer will trade for him soon since his 2012 option doesnt become guaranteed unless he finishes 55 games this year. Presumably a team like NYY wouldnt use him to finish games."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

Expect Nathan to take over the closer role...Capps has spit the bit way to often lately. Too bad, because I'm sure that they'd like to unload him."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

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.”

The manager also said he'd give struggling right-hander Matt Capps a temporary break from the closer's role....Gardenhire wouldn't reveal who would pitch the ninth inning in the meantime, though Joe Nathan and Glen Perkins are the obvious options.

for one brief shining day or two, I had FA pickups Padilla and Sanchez as apparent closers.
then the bed broke, as the old joke goes - sounds like both are done for the year:
Eduardo Sanchez will be shut down for at least six weeks with renewed soreness in his right shoulder.
He'll be reevaluated after that time. Though there's still a chance that Sanchez could come back at the end of the season, the odds are probably against it. The Cardinals are not considering surgery at this time. Sanchez had been a vital part of St. Louis' bullpen before getting hurt, posting a 1.88 ERA with 33 strikeouts over 26 2/3 innings.

I never liked Sanchez's delivery. He throws across his body and looks like high effort."The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable." -NY Times

Marshall is a better pitcher than a lot of MLB closers.
He's different than a lot of other options - perfect if his ERA/Ratio will help you and a few extra SV would be a pleasant surprise.
Not sure the Cubs are willing to have an expensive closer step aside for very long. Marmol has done this before, then snaps out of it quickly and completely.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
