So you think Storen over Clip? I do too because Clipp is really a beast as a set-up guy.
Maybe I'll grab Clip in my home league just for the ratios and some vulture wins. Wade Davis has been heavenly.

In postgame comments sounds like they'll stick with Soriano. If I had to roll the dice on one of the two quality setup guys who might get save chances I'd probably go Storen based on them going Clip in the 8th/Storen in the 9th today. But only worth it if you have a roster spot that's giving you nothing otherwise; both should help with ratios but prob not much else. Soriano would probably need to blow up 2 or 3 more times before they made a change.

I know as soon as I drop Smith that Street is going to pull something. Anyone still holding onto Joe in leagues where you could use that roster spot for something else halfway decent? With Robertson, Rondon and Allen I'm looking pretty good, but can never have enough closers.

Maness or Neshek?

I suppose it's possible they go that route, but he's been working as a starter for a while now. Looks like he'll come out of the bullpen in the short term, but I imagine they're eyeing how Masterson and Miller perform to see if they may need to stick him back in the rotation.
I'd definitely say Neshek over Maness though. Maness is the go-to double play inducer-- I think Matheny values being able to use him late in the game with runners on too much to consider him as the ninth inning guy. Plus, Neshek has been damn unhittable this season.

Just picked up Quackenbush for Padres. Benoit has rumbles of an injured shoulder

I now own Quackenbush AND Boxberger. My roster is turning into a P. G. Wodehouse novel.

Quackenbush was the original name of Groucho Marx' character in "A Day at the Races". It was changed to Hugo Z. Hackenbush by the time shooting started.

That's about the same time I noticed him. Picked him up July 2. My team WHIP is 1.08, thanks in part to that dude.

For some reason, Scioscia brought Street into an 8-3 game on Wednesday when he already had pitched four of the previous five days.Swing 51 said:

That's the second time I've put a bunch of FAAB money on Gregerson and got nothing in return. O'Flaherty? Is everyone going to Patrick's Pub after the game? ####!

I'd love to hear the rational behind not using Janssen in the 9th, but more than willing to send him out there for a 2nd inning of work in the 11th

Santos probably not the replacement

Yeah he got DFA's and I wanted the Tigers to get him so they'd have every awful reliever in baseball. I guess he loved Toronto so much, he came back. That team has really hit the skids.

Natinals going no closers for now.

Update- definitely Storen the rest of the way.
He's pitched three in a row, though. If you're hunting a cheap save and Clippard is available you might as well grab him.
