CLOSER TRADE ANALYSIS |
August 1, 2010
The trade deadline has come and pass.
Nearly every closer that I figured would be traded
was traded as only Kevin Gregg remained. Here is a break down of
the team impact.Matt Capps -
Joined the Twins and took over the closer
role. That pushed Jon Rauch
out of the job which he should never have
had. Rookie stud Drew Storen
will take over for Matt Capps in
Washington. Octavio Dotel - Traded
to the Dodgers and will setup for
Jonathan Broxton. However, he may
see save chances with how bad Broxton has
been lately. Evan Meek will
likely take over as closer for the Pirates.
Evan Meek has been dominating this year and
was a All-Star. Kerry Wood - With
the resurgence of Chris Perez and
Kerry Wood off the DL, Wood was traded
to the Yankees. Wood is one of the
more useless closers, so not much of a
loss. Chris Perez will be the
closer in Cleveland now and on opening day
in 2011. Chad Qualls - Qualls was
DOA for 99% of fantasy teams. He lost
his closer job and is now a Tampa Bay Ray.
Clearly a useless move except that the Rays
got a player to replace the injured Grant
Balfour. |
