So you're saying there's a chance?Hoover blew up yesterday and Broxton not ready to return, is the only reason he got it I assume.Manny Parra worth anything or was this just a fluky two-inning save?

Decent chance to hold that job I thinkDa Gildz said:Dropped 367/1k budget on K-Rodddddddddddddddddddddd.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Let it ride boys. (NFBC , closers were Koji + Soriano)
It's a long season. 37% of a FAAB budget is a lot.Decent chance to hold that job I thinkDa Gildz said:Dropped 367/1k budget on K-Rodddddddddddddddddddddd.

I saw some mention of a committee. Anyone else to roll the dice on in NY?RnR said:David Robertson to DL. Shawn Kelley is the add after a save Monday.

Agreed it was alot. Part of me wanted to bid in the 200 range but i didnt want to chance it. Soriano scares me as a 2nd closer. in this format, u need to compete in every category to have a chance at the big prize. And in the Saves dept, u need 3 legit closers IMO. I do think K-rod will hold this gig, a couple more saves i think he's locked into this role.It's a long season. 37% of a FAAB budget is a lot.Decent chance to hold that job I thinkDa Gildz said:Dropped 367/1k budget on K-Rodddddddddddddddddddddd.

Kelley will be the main guy (although he's not available today after pitching the last two). I'd say Adam Warren would be next in line, but he's pitched the last two days too. I have no idea who will close today if needed. Maybe Girardi plays match-ups with Thornton and Phelps.I picked up Thornton.I saw some mention of a committee.

I literally have no idea what they'll do there, but he seemed to be as good of a candidate as any.
I would say it's Broxton starting today, but Price seems to be less rigid on his closer usage than Dusty was so we may see some combination.So you're saying there's a chance?Hoover blew up yesterday and Broxton not ready to return, is the only reason he got it I assume.Manny Parra worth anything or was this just a fluky two-inning save?
Susan Slusser @susanslusser 18mMelvin says #Athletics need to get Johnson straightened out. Will close by committee in meantime.

For those asking, "closer by committee" means Doolittle, Gregerson, Otero, Cook. #Athletics
Anyone have guess on who from that list will be the guy to grab? Doolittle's a lefty, Cook just returned from the DL, so Gregerson?Susan Slusser @susanslusser 18mMelvin says #Athletics need to get Johnson straightened out. Will close by committee in meantime.

Cook has superior stuff though and before the Johnson trade, was the projected closer. Gregerson also was very shaky when he had a chance to close in San Diego last year. I think they'll both get a look but Cook is the long-term guy IMO.I'd rank them Gregerson, Cook, Doolittle, Otero but I only have a 1 in 24 chance of being right.Anyone have guess on who from that list will be the guy to grab?

I've been holding Cook for almost two years in Serious Biz in hopes of this but I still think Johnson will end up back in the role.Cook has superior stuff though and before the Johnson trade, was the projected closer.

Yeah, Johnson will go back into the role as soon as one or more of these guys fail. I am not a Gregerson fan, but think Cook could rattle off seven or eight straight saves. A's paying Johnson to close though, and we know how teams are about that, especially the low salary A's.I've been holding Cook for almost two years in Serious Biz in hopes of this but I still think Johnson will end up back in the role.Cook has superior stuff though and before the Johnson trade, was the projected closer.

I love you SantosAlternatively, 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.
He got seriously squeezed twice in that Carpenter at-bat.Now I see why the Tigers let Veras walk when they could have paid him $3 million to pitch the 8th.
you mean Hanrahan.Hey, Jed, what do you think Kevin Gregg's up to?
I am seriously hoping the Tigers will look at him, or take a flyer on Hanrahan.Hey, Jed, what do you think Kevin Gregg's up to?
If he's out there I'd absolutely stash himAnything to see with Mujica? Feels like 50/50 these shoulder tightness issues become much bigger.
drop Nova or Santos for him?If he's out there I'd absolutely stash himAnything to see with Mujica? Feels like 50/50 these shoulder tightness issues become much bigger.
oh with a 3 SP scenario I'd drop Nova in a second. I can't imagine him being snatched up. Again, purely speculative, but given how good and how important Koji was, at 39, I don't see how they DONT DL him. Even if its just 15 days retroactive, you don't want to mess around with shoulders. I saw on Fox that Koji said this felt similar to something he had in Texas that kept him out for multiple months.drop Nova or Santos for him?If he's out there I'd absolutely stash himAnything to see with Mujica? Feels like 50/50 these shoulder tightness issues become much bigger.
2 RP spots and other than Koji, my only options for saves will be Broxton and Santos, who is on borrowed time. Unless Koji is DLed by tomorrow, I have to drop someone?
Sounds like Santos has one more week of closing based on Janssen's current timetable.
So maybe drop Nova? We start 3 SP and I have Price, Gio, Cobb and Yordano, so I don't see myself using Nova any time soon.
icant get the AL version of Mujica out of my head, if the shoulder issue turns into something significant I would bet on Tazawa sooner rather than later.Anything to see with Mujica? Feels like 50/50 these shoulder tightness issues become much bigger.
This seems reasonable and well thought out. 51 poor innings as a youngster in 2007-08 should totally be the deciding factor here.

Or continue to twist what I say into whatever fits your narrative picking a fight no one else cares to read other than you.
Muijca has the experience and paycheck and had the 1st look last night. Gotta start with him I thinkStop ####### arguing and tell me which of Tazawa or Mujica is worth my time. I'm leaning Tazawa.
If Koji is out for weeks and weeks, this is a nice closer to have.
If you are looking talent and not who gets first crack, Tazawa is the guy.Stop ####### arguing and tell me which of Tazawa or Mujica is worth my time. I'm leaning Tazawa.

yep, but I think they really like him in the eighth. Easy decision to switch if performance forces their hand.If you are looking talent and not who gets first crack, Tazawa is the guy.Stop ####### arguing and tell me which of Tazawa or Mujica is worth my time. I'm leaning Tazawa.

Mujica likely will get the first crack and given its likely to be a short period of time, he has to be the first pickup.Stop ####### arguing and tell me which of Tazawa or Mujica is worth my time. I'm leaning Tazawa.

They gave the 9th inning save op to a guy with a 13.50 ERA.Houston just gave a SV opp to a guy who went undrafted in the 45 round BTTF draft

You need to get in a normal league, 12 or 13 teams. Cake is no fun because there are no free agents and you pick up guys like Delmon Young hoping he is good for four days. My home league is the most fun fantasy league I've ever been in, in any sport. And you know how I adore Uber.I now have two Astros relief pitchers on my roster.
I don't understand how people say fantasy baseball is fun.
