    I think it's safe enough to just wait it out and see if Willy faulters at all. It's been over a month since League lost the job and I personally thought he would already have it back by now. If Wilhelmsen has a bad outting or two then Id jump on League.

    ok, now I'm puzzled! Burton (R) gets the save today. Frazier (R) was first to bat, so maybe they played match ups as Perkins is a Lefty. So are they gonna split chances?

    Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Storen will not be the closer as soon as he's ready.

    "Right now he’s my closer, and the way he’s going I can’t see going to somebody else. They’d have to show me up here probably in a setup role before they have the opportunity to close."

    Also, looks like Marmol is the closer again in Chicago.

    I saw that but am not sold on him. He really struggled last season and this may only be temporary...

    What about Marshall taking back over in Cincy? Chapman blew his third save in five appearances last night.

    Obviously, it won't happen right now but I would not be surprised to see that happen later this year. Remember that Chapman is ideally to be a starter, and they may break him in later this season.

    I am sure hoping he (Parnell) continues to go well during this audition. Maybe management would trade FF or demote him and Parnell becomes the guy full time. I guess we'll see.

    Heath Bell has fallen farther down than any other once dominating closer in recent memory, all in a span of about 20 months, unreal.

    I am finally gonna dump Santos, if nothing very positive comes this week. TO will not rush him with falling out of contention and limited updates and no progress, he's gone.

    Cheap saves with possible trades to current closers:
    Lyon (Hou) and Gregerson or Thayer (SD) given Myers and Houston could be traded. I need saves and they could be a cheap source come July31st. I also heard Hanrahan could be traded, but do not understand why? Pitts is in the mix. Is Grilli in that mix?
    How should we rate them? Anyone else?

    Hanrahan won't be going anywhere as long as the Pirates are in contention. Even if they aren't, he's one of the better closers and it would take a lot for them to deal him.
