The Closer Continuum: Latest on J.J. Putz, Rafael Soriano
2008-04-22 03:37:00 I love my girlfriend and we have a trusting relationship (Pandora’s box opened). That being said, there is something about the girls in the Snorg t-shirt advertisements that I just have to get off my, well, chest. Something in the way they smile at me and tug at their t-shirts as if to say, “Hello there, ...

Closer Watch: Brian Wilson, Huston Street & Rafael Soriano
2008-04-12 01:44:00 Ten days into the season and there has already been some turnover at the closer position. Here is a quick look at a few developing situations along with a link to some important injury information from injury expert Will Carroll. San Francisco Giants: Brian Wilson closed yesterday's win after Brad Hennessey made it a save situation in the 9th. This helps erase the memory of Wilson's two previous appearances in which he allowed runs and blew a save. I don't think Wilson is in any danger of losing the job, but bad appearances by closers need to be noted regardless. Oakland A's: Keith Foulke closed yesterday's win for the Oakland A's. Closer Huston Street was unavailable because he pitched the previous two games. There appears to be nothing here except the fact Foulke was successful. Atlanta Braves; Rafael Soriano was placed on the DL on Wednesday. Manny Acosta was held back on Monday to be used as the closer, but Peter Moylan had been used the previ...

Rafael Soriano Sore
2008-04-09 17:38:00 Frequent reader, Mike, alerted me that Rafael Soriano is experiencing pain in his throwing arm. This may be nothing, but it could very well be something. Peter Moylan is the backup to Soriano and should be picked up if you have room on your team. Moylan wasn’t going to close last because he had performed ...

Rafael Soriano Has Soreness In Elbow
2008-04-09 14:00:00 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Rafael Soriano may miss a few days.Interestingly enough, Bobby Cox has decided to use Manny Acosta in the temporary closers role.Soriano owners should consider adding Acosta if there is room on their bench. Soriano may miss a few days or it could turn into something longer.I take few chances with closers and injury reports, so picking up Acosta is advised. Play it safe.

Ageless Maddux, Sleepy Eyes Harang, and Hermida?s Summer
2007-08-30 07:49:00 I found this interesting, regarding the ageless Greg Maddux: ?I haven’t felt this good in my life,? Maddux said yesterday. ?Maybe when I was in high school.? Early this season, Maddux agreed to allow head trainer Todd Hutcheson and assistant Paul Navarro to work on his pitching arm several days per week. The 41-year-old said he feels ?a lot better? than in other Augusts and cracked: ?I wish I felt like this when I was good and could put it to use.? Maddux said the arm maintenance is allowing him to recover from games faster, which is enabling him to throw more in his bullpen sessions, yielding better feel when he pitches. The right-hander hasn’t allowed a walk in his past 35 innings, a span of five starts. Maddux is rather quietly stringing together a very valuable fantasy season, allowing only 1.17 walks every nine innings, which is even better than his historically pinpointing career numbers (1.82). He’s got 10 wins and a 3.90 ERA, and is enjoying his best seaso...
