jim johnson another shaky outing, doolittle the closer to own in oakland...mets going full blown closerby ccommittee

as expected, axford out as closer in cleveland. sucky part (for me at least) is bryan shaw gets the nod not cody allen...apparently a teams best reliever really isnt always the closer

really liking cody allen of the indians as a pre-emptive add, i just picked him up on my team. john axford is getting crushed lately, and he has been known to lose the closer role before. allen has...

jim henderson let up 5 runs and hit the DL, its the k-rod show in milwaukee

jim johnson basically saved his own win, pitching 1.2 innings in a 10th inning win over the sox. he seems to have...

no real closer changes to report, but wanted to just comment on K-Rod this year. guy is having an unbelieveable year for the brewers. kudos to anyone who drafted him or snagged him early. it was...

hector rondon appears to have taken over the closing role for the cubs, he has looked good and has been racking up strike outs. add accordingly

well that was a quick turnaround. frieri is out as closer, joe smith is now closing for the angels. also, jason grilli isout as closer for the pirates, mark the shark melancon is now their closer,...

i like ernesto frieri and jim johnson as buy low targets. frieri has already given up 4 homers and has a bad ERA and whip, but you gotta look at the underlying numbers. he also has 11K and only 2BB...

rockies are one of the "best kept secrets" in baseball. i am trying to load my team with rockies this year...their lineup is actually really solid, they have a good bullpen, and they score plenty of...

didnt have much time to report this yesterday, but it looks like the valverde saga already came to a close. the mets have named kyle farnsworth the closer...not sure if you even want to action this...

on top of the doolittle blown save tues, now gregerson blew a save for oakland last night...buy low window on jim johnson is closing fast...

craig kimbrel's arm is feeling better and he is saying...

well it looks like the oakland picture is getting a little clearer, jim johnson has 5 straight clean appearances and im guessing will be reinstated soon. gregerson will probably get a couple more...

a few updates:

craig kimbrel is dealing with shoulder soreness. this is hopefully nothing serious, but it looks like carpenter is second in line for saves in ATL.

though OAK says they are...

and right on queue, jose valverde spectacularly blows a save in a way only he can, getting 2 quick outs and then eventually giving up a game losing 3 run blast. gonzalez germen is on the rise, keep...

koji is inactive due to shoulder soreness. i heard on the local radio here that he actually missed 2 months in texas due to the same issue a few years back. that being said, he claims this issue...

sorry fellas didnt get a chance to update today but yes, Johnson is out as the closer in Oakland. pretty surprised he had such a short leash. my take is that oakland will use a committee until he...

what a mess this season has been so far already! closers basically wreaked havoc around the league last night

-blown save from jim johnson...he is on the hot seat, but i wouldnt rush to drop him. ...

So updating a previous item I had on here, we might want to take another look into the brewers closer situation. Right now, K-Rod is being used in the 9th. however, last night jim henderson pitched...

great call andy, you beat me to it! david robertson of the yankees has a mild groin strain. wont be out too too long, but he is on the 15 day dl. grab shawn kelley if available.

taking a look at...

another guy worth looking into is Brett Cecil from the blue jays. Their actual closer C Janssen is on the DL with a pretty bad injury, and their "closer in waiting" Sergio Santos is not performing...

quick updates: brewers closing job locked up by K-Rod after a bad outing by Jim Henderson. K-Rod also struck out the side in the 11th to close it out.

White sox pen still a mess, jones sent to...

two fantastically blown saves last night, both on my team of course. papelbon was especially terrible, blowing a 2 run lead and walking in the winning run. joe nathan blew one as well. i dont...

sergio santos had a rough night last night, but did strike out 3 and notched the save. santos may be more of a temporary option, he has the stuff but not sure he has the mental makeup. if you can...

CLOSER ALERT - Bobby Parnell has an elbow injury, could require TJ. jump on jose valverde if you need saves and he is available.

No problem mitchell, closers are very tough, some people draft top closers who get hurt or lose their job to ineffectiveness...some people dont draft closers at all and play the wire...i kind of go...

also, this one is pretty late but worth mentioning, neftafi feliz is not going to close for the rangers this year, joakim soria will be their handshake man, lets see if the mexicutioner can relive...

hey all, figured id start a thread to track closers this yr in fantasy bases since its such a volatile position...

first wanted to start with sergio santos, taking over for the injured casey...
