Sell High

I'll be coming out with a weekley planner in a few days, but for now just take into consideration a few of these closers i am telling you to sell now if you can get any sort of value for them.


Jorge Julio- His strikeout ability makes him an intriguing possibility for Floria as their closer. Do not let this fool you! Though he does posses the pitches to strike batters out, he control is awful plus he has a very high home run rate. Neither of these things are good for a pitcher to have let alone a closer who's job is always extremley volitile. He already blew a save, so his ocnfidence is probably a little shakey. Tyler Tankersly is going to be activated from the DL this week, so i would recomend picking him up while you still can seeing that its only a matter of time before julio loses the job.

Solomen Torres- Got off to a hot start acquiring 3 saves right off the bat. The fact of the matter is that he does not have any elite skills. His Contorl/K rate/ and command of his pitches are about mediocre. Last season he also had a high whip which shows batters got on base against him. The fact that he posted good #s show that he got a little lucky. I would recomend selling Torres high, but who knows he could hold on to the job.

David Riske- Became the closer when dotel went on the Dl. Plain and simple he had pretty medicore stats to begin with, and they have been steadily decling for 3 years. He dosent strike anyone out, and his control coupled with his tendancy to give up the long ball will lose him the job soon.
