    If you paid the freight to get Chapman he is earning every penny.

    In our 12 team AL only he was traded for in the off season. His salary was $26B. At the last minute he did not make that owners final roster cut. I was shocked.

    He went for $27 in this year's auction...to me!

    I then grabbed a $5 Merryweather who just got moved to the 60 day IL.

    I have just been approached to see what I want for Chapman. I don't think I can afford to trade him.

      McGee is out of Kapler's dog house after striking out 3 to get the save Friday night.

        Good because I'd like to see him again, his 3Ks after a walk were, well lets say, not as encouraging if you watched them as they are when you read them in the box score.

          Crichton gets the save for ARZ, and Soria implodes again. Probably safe to say Crichton's the closer until further notice.

            "implodes" might be an overbid (allowed a 2-out, 2-run HR in 8th with a 5-0 lead), but Soria wasn't been sharp upon return and clearly Crichton is the man for now. and anyone else here probably not even worth it in a deeper league.

              Well, he allowed two other hits and has had two 3-hits allowed innings in his four appearances so far.

              What's interesting about Crichton is, according to FanGraphs, he's thrown his four seamer 44.5% of the time this season, up from just 1.4% last season! And he's lost some velocity on it, down 1.5 mph.

                scoreless but allowed 2 hits last night for a SV.
                1-2-3 9th today for a SV.

                Giants don't want to replace him, so his leash is longer than it is for some others.

                  Rumors of Jake McGee's demise as closer have been greatly exaggerated. He's gotten 3 saves in 5 days since the Coors Field blowup which is his only blown save in 11 chances.

                    I disagree

                      Getting him in 3 leagues in the reserves has been $$$$$$$$$

                        Reds RPs retired all 16 batters they faced vs Pirates today.

                        1-1 in 5th, 2 on, 2 out, and here comes... Antone! he gets 4 outs.

                        Doolittle the 7th, Sims the 8th and 9th, so they were saving someone to close this game and - though the Reds got 4 in the top of the 10th so no SV situation the man of the hour is...... Heath Hembree?

                        I give up on this one - maybe literally. I'll be waiving Doolittle or Givens tomorrow to bring back Soria, who is no prize but he's 4 units not 10, so he gets the spot. Price 3 will soon follow to kill the other one, or Floro.

                          Michael Fulmer got his 2nd save for the Tigers on Thursday. The former starter could run with the closer job if he gets the opportunity.

                            As a Fulmer owner I hope so- I could use another closer so I can trade some saves.

                                the Reds appeared to save Hembree for the 9th the other day as the new "closer."

                                today he appeared in the 4th with 2 on and allowed both inherited runners to score to make it an 8-1 deficit.

                                I "put Doolittle down" yesterday - he pitched the 7th tonight with the Reds down 8-4 - and am so glad I did.

                                wait until the Reds fire their imbecile manager before fishing in that pond.....
