  • What's best site these days to see updated closers-in-waiting?

    Or, any insight on marlins and giants pecking order?

    Comment


    • I think Fangraphs does the best work.

        Casilla, Affeldt, Machi in SF or maybe Romo in the mix if he pitches better.
        Gregg or Ramos in MIA if Cishek were to be traded or injured.

          I dont see Cishek going anywhere. The Marlins are contenders, and he has been pretty much lights out.

            • McGee in the bottom of the 8th for TB. I'm sooooo hoping this "Yeah, McGee is lights out and all, but I'll stick with Peralta because I'm a genius with glasses" plan of Maddon's backfires on him again. #CloserBitching.

                Balfour is in for the save.

                  Walks 2, almost blows it, but gets save. GOD I wanted that to backfire on Professor Buddy Holly Glasses.

                  • Kimbrel with the, well, Kimbrel: 3K save.

                    Guerra on to close out LAA, not Putnam/Petricka...we'll see how he does.

                    Smith closes out CHW in first game.

                    • Angels appear to trust Smith - he got saves in both ends of the doubleheader today.
                      In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

                        I don't learn my lesson. Another closer I gave away. Traded Britton earlier for a minor leaguer I dropped a week later. Now traded Smith for Wade Davis, banking on Smith losing the gig via an Angels trade to pick up a closer. Then they land Grilli, who is no threat.

                        • And NOW Boxberger with the save for TB. Owners of other members of Tampa's closer committee like Jake McGee, Grant Balfour, Joel Peralta, Roberto Hernandez, Fernando Rodney, Danys Baez, Esteban Yan, Troy Percival, Al Reyes, Kyle Farnsworth, JP Howell, Lance Carter, Doug Wheeler, Seth McClung, Randy Choate, Jesus Colome, Albie Lopez, Tyler Walker, Brian Meadows, Shawn Camp, Travis Phelps, Jake McGee -- wait, sorry, already said McGee -- Gary Glover, Doug Miceli, I mean Dan Miceli, Victor Zambrano, Wilson Alvarez, Troy Percival again, and Doug Creek have to be disappointed.

                          • I call him Box. Nice name btw.

                            He's having a really nice season except for the HR issues.

                            • Putnam has 15% SwK but only 7.4 k/9. One of those two has to change.

                              • Keep an eye on Chapman:

                                ROTOWORLD: Jonathan Broxton earned his sixth save of the season Sunday in the Reds' defeat of the Brewers. Broxton retired all three batters he faced in a perfect frame. Aroldis Chapman has pitched just once since June 28 and Sunday's opportunity was a big one against the first-place Brew Crew, so something may be wrong with the flame-throwing left-hander. Broxton is worth stashing right now in fantasy leagues just in case.
