Magoo 1,517 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If Josh Hader somehow became the “closer,” where would you draft him? I’m thinking 60ish. Link to post Share on other sites
MrBrown 735 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 (edited) What do people think about the Cubs situation? I drafted Carl Edwards Jr. with like my very last pick of the draft I think he has a chance to be closer but they might go with a "closer by committee" Edited March 21, 2019 by tonycpsu Removed Cool Story Link to post Share on other sites
Cmilne23 10,544 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Adam Conley will be closing games sooner than later. His stuff is going to play dirty in the pen. He looks primed for a huge breakout. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

If Strop is gtg by the start of the season, he'll be the guy. When Morrow returns, he'll be the guy. Now if Strop isn't ready for OD, then they may go CEJ or a committee until he is ready. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Baur10 2,085 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I double dipped on Strop/Morrow in my draft yesterday. Using up 2 spots is annoying but if you find yourself behind on closers it seemed like a solid pairing late in the draft. Hoping I can slide Morrow to the IL at some point.

I think Alvarado has a little more risk due to the way TB has handled their bullpen the last couple years particularly last season. That being said I still like him more than Strickland. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
chud12 4,076 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Brewers skipper Craig Counsell admitted Thursday that Corey Knebel is dealing with an UCL issue and will get a second opinion. Counsell elaborated, noting that it wasn't a complete tear of his UCL and that he has pitched with the injury for awhile, so Tommy John surgery is not a foregone conclusion here. Still, it remains a possibility. We'll wait and see what the second opinion holds, but the Brewers' interest in Craig Kimbrel seemingly makes much more sense now.

street sharks 3,238 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Pick up Jeffress if you haven't already. Might as well since he won't waste a spot on your roster being on the DL Link to post Share on other sites
Under500Forever 735 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 is there any hope for Brasier at this point? Barnes has been up and Down but he had. Good outing today. Brasier hasn’t pitched since his debut about 5 days ago. Does anyone know why? Link to post Share on other sites
