Closers, Closers in waiting, and Middle relief...... (3 Viewers)

Alternatively, Janssssen is a free agent after this year. So, when he comes back maybe they say that they want him to work his way into the role and then they just stick with Santos if he's doing well. Of course, he's not doing well so far.

What's your team look like? There's a chance that they are both worth an add and then you can see which one plays out as a long-term solution.

Pick or die

I would pick Lindstrom if you held a gun to my head, but neither of these guys scream "take it and run" ... odds say one of them will though. Probably easier just to drop Jason Hammel and hold them both.

CBS so it may not be accurate but:

The opening day prediction of Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos that closer Casey Janssen won't miss much time with abdominal and back issues now appear to be accurate.

John Gibbons confirmed Thursday that Janssen has been playing catch and will return to the mound in a few days. "We don't think it will be too long," he told MLBNetworkRadio.

Janssen has nailed down 56 saves in 61 opportunities over the last two seasons.

holding a gun to someone's head is pretty serious.

I might prefer the bullet over either Santos or Lindstrom

The Cubs bring the great Brian Schlitter in to pitch in a high-leverage situation in the 8th inning. Their bullpen was heavily used last night and Schlitter is kind of a non-prospect, but I get the finder's fee if he gets 30 SV this year.

 

[SoCalBroncoFan]

I am holding Street and Cishek in my NL-only league that drafts this weekend. I know they arent the sexiest closers, but they are damn solid and I feel a lot better about them after this last couple of days.

Pick up Strop if have room. Got save today and has looked good in all three appreances this year.

Longer than one inning at least

Still not sure why they signed Veras given the state of the team but agree it is still his job to lose. Of course he looked like #### this spring.

Is there a closer question in there?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Nate Jones is a mess.

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Walt Weiss said that Chad Bettis would have closed the game today had the Rockies not blown the lead already in the 8th. Bettis had by far the best stuff out of the Rockies relievers in the Spring. Worth keeping on the radar with Brothers not looking like the same guy and Hawkins being on the AARP mailing list with Eephus.

Nice job Lindstrom, I didn't need that save anyway.

Will Harris pitched the 8th for the Diamondbacks with a one run lead.

...and gave up 5 ER in the 8th today

Ventura said he's not right physically.

I'm not dropping him yet.

HAHA. Bet Escobar is looking pretty sweet right about now.

Let me know what you use your #1 waiver priority on in a 16 team league.

Parnell worth hanging on to? 50% chance of TJ, but won't know for a few weeks. Weekly league and I'd like to stick Tex in the DL slot before Monday.

If you don't have a free spot for him, I'd dump him. I had a free spot but as soon as someone else gets hurt, Parnell is gone in my deep keeper league.

most of these injuries ends in tj at some point and it isn't like he gas the proven tag to fall back on to get the job again in a month anyway. Unless you have a deep dl I'd ship him out.

I am more likely to close for the Tigers than Joba is.

Jose Veras walked four batters in the 9th, they had to bring in Strop.

That was ugly to watch. It wasn't a save situation, so maybe Veras' head wasn't in the game.

 

[Balco]

So we agree it is Sean Doolittle if Johnson loses the job. Or does Cook get first crack when he comes back?

Johnson got the save today, but he looked extremely shaky doing it.

I think Doolittle is too valuable as a LOOGY. There are ten million reasons why Johnson will have a long leash. Cook or Gregerson could step in if Johnson is injured.

Manny Parra worth anything or was this just a fluky two-inning save?

Hoover blew up yesterday and Broxton not ready to return, is the only reason he got it I assume.
