    ugh -- Lord Farquhar

    Ugh is right. In my AL only league I have Farquhar, Robertson and Fields (as well as Feliz and Pestano) and I probably won't end up with a single closer.

    Why can't teams show faith in these kinds guys and stop going with the stupid logic of "proven guys"?
    I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

      One team had faith last year that Jose Veras could be a closer and went with him instead of a "proven guy".

        Are "they" going to go with Fields this year?

          Veras' numbers look pretty good with the Astros. Or is was it a case of numbers not telling the whole story with him?
          "I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

            I think Veras accomplished exactly what the Astros had in mind--close well, be dealt well. Is he a free agent? (KS) If so, would the Astros consider signing him again?
