This week sees The Hold Up lose a few big name hold's options in Matt Bush, Brad Brach and Shawn Kelley as all 3 will get a chance to close out games for their respective teams. This leaves the elite/great hold options a little thin, with their being only about a dozen or so at the moment. There are still some names lower on the list that are really intriguing as long as they can solidify a role in which hold's can be obtained. And I'm not just talking about Chris Devenski.
Anyway, let's take a look at how non-closer reliever options are looking so far this season.
TIER 1: Good Vibration
1. Andrew Miller (Cleveland Indians)
2. Dellin Betances (New York Yankees)
3. Hector Neris (Philadelphia Phillies)
Kyle Barraclough?
I know I’m a day late here, but I’m in a 10 team AL only keeper league. Closers are always a rare commodity. Is Joe Jimenez someone you’d take a flyer on from waivers thinking he could maybe be the closer in 2018? I am guessing he wont hurt my ERA or WHIP. (also no holds as it’s 4×4)
Thanks in advance!
Strop over Rondon?
