The closers column looks good but the next in line choices are anybody's guess at this point. By this time next week, it'll be clearer who is getting used in the 8th inning role, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll get the call if the closer is hurt or ineffective.

I see that is the list from theinsidepitch.com. Yes, he stays on top of it all year, and does a pretty good job.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

First in line for the Tigers right now is Denny Bautista with Bobby Seay being second in line.

 

[Spartans Rule]

God help our bullpen.

 

[Green94]

Good thread.

 

[Regular Crust Pizza]

Brian Wilson is the closer. I'd flip Walker and Hennessey, but it's not that big a difference. Hopefully your team isn't depending on that.

 

[Spartans Rule]

If they're listing Lidge as the closer in Philly despite being injured, they should probably do the same for Ryan in Toronto. He's expected to take back over by the end of April.

 

[prosopis]

Take Qualls out and put Medders in for Az.

Didn't they turn it to a pay service this year?

They did for awhile but changed their tune to make it free again. They started out the spring charging $50, but that ended a few weeks ago. I'm glad they did.

 

[whoknew]

Jon Rauch brought in for the Nats in the 9th. Cordero had some stiffness warming up.

 

[Michael Brown]

I thought Scott Downs was setting up Accardo in Toronto til Ryan gets back.

Joaquin Benoit is a potential closer in Texas ahead of Guardado and ####omori.

I'd put Farnsworth ahead of Hawkins with the Yanks.

Jensen Lewis might be ahead of Kobayashi in Cleveland.

I think if Papelbon gets hurt that Delcarmen might leapfrog Okajima and they'll keep Oki in the 8th.

Please note these are all my personal best guesses and I have no facts to back them up.

[Dusty Rhodes]

Riske over Turnblow in MKE

Riske got the save yesterday when Gagne failed.

 

[Eephus]

Tom Gordon and Ryan Madson didn't impress anybody yesterday

i wonder how often they will update it. I see where an email update can be sent everyday but the cost is 25 bucks.

Jensen Lewis might be ahead of Kobayashi in Cleveland.I think if Papelbon gets hurt that Delcarmen might leapfrog Okajima and they'll keep Oki in the 8th.

Kobayashi, Rafey Right, and Rafey Left are all above Jensen Lewis from what I've gathered.The Delcarmen item may carry some weight though, I've read that in more than just a couple locations.

 

[wadegarrett]

You can kiss Rafael Betancourt as closer. It will be Kobayashi's after today.

 

[Spartans Rule]

You can kiss Rafael Betancourt as closer. It will be Kobayashi's after today.

For a week and then it's back to Joe Blow.
