Date | Question | Answer |
---|---|---|
2013-06-11 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Will need 3 pitchers for next week in 5x5...main need is saves but can use all categories...Suspects are Lyons, Gregerson, Jansen, Maholm, Turner, Tillman, Vargas...WW has guys like Phelps, Westbrook, Kendrick, Norris, Straily, Lohse, Gee, McCawthy, Archer...Suggestions please! (LittleRon from WV) | If you need saves, keep an eye on the news regarding Huston Street (who is ready to begin a rehab assignment) and Brandon League (who might not be long for the ninth inning). Depending on the headlines there, either Gregerson or Jansen could take one of the three spots.
For the others, without taking the time to look closely at matchups, I'd roll with Paul Maholm and Dan Straily (who I believe will face the Mariners at the tail-end of the week, albeit with a start in Texas earlier). Also, I'd recommend checking out Paul Sporer's SP Planner on Friday for more info. (Daniel Rathman) |
2013-05-22 18:00:00 (link to chat) | Other than Rodney are there any other closers who have struggled you would specifically avoid? Johnson, Chapman, and Soriano have all blown their fair share of saves. (Kyle from Denver) | The closer market isn't as such where any one can be avoided. I traded for Jose Veras 3 weeks ago and have enjoyed what he's been able to do. Brandon League - that's avoidable. (Jason Collette) |
2013-03-06 20:00:00 (link to chat) | What closer do you think loses his job first? (Wes from Texas) | Bruce Rondon, does he count? Was he ever the closer in Detroit? For an actual closer, I'd be shaking in my boots if I were Brandon League with Kenley Jansen behind me. (Paul Singman) |
2013-02-27 20:00:00 (link to chat) | How long before Jansen starts taking away save opps from League? (Sean T from Bethesda) | Tough to say, but even in a best case scenario for Brandon League owners it's not hard to see Kenley Jansen saving 5-10. The simple answer is if League struggles I don't think Don Mattingly will have orders from up above to use League because he has the big contract. (Mike Gianella) |
2013-02-22 13:00:00 (link to chat) | % chance Brandon League stays closer all year? (Fred from LA) | I wonder what the minimum is for this question. Incumbency is so important, after all; if Clay Hensley were the declared closer going into Opening Day, how often would HE be the closer all year? That's the floor. I'd guess 12 percent is the floor. Maybe 6 percent, maybe 18 percent. Somewhere between 6 and 18 percent.
League: 24 percent. Not a pitcher I like much. (Sam Miller) |
2012-12-20 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Lindbergh and miller talked about their favorite/least favorites moves on the podcast the other day. Your favorite/least favorite offseason move? (Roberto from jury duty (fml)) | Glad I could make jury duty go by a little faster, Roberto - and I've got my own appearance to look forward to not long from now.
If we count extensions, I wasn't a fan of the Brandon League move for the Dodgers; if we limit this to free-agent signings, relative to some of the deals handed out since, the three-year, $25 million hitch the Royals gave Jeremy Guthrie seems a little out of place. Specifically, I liked the one-year, $6 million deal for Scott Feldman and the two-year, $15.5 million deal for Brandon McCarthy. And from a bullpen standpoint, one year and $4.25 million for Koji Uehara looks good. To just choose two, I'll take League and Feldman. (Daniel Rathman) |
2012-12-05 13:00:00 (link to chat) | How hard is it as a writer to adjust to the new money in baseball? It seems like you should scream that's a terrible contract to most of the recent signings, but maybe we have to realize that the market is changing. (jfive613 from New Mexico) | Talked about this some with Marc Normandin yesterday on twitter. The market is most certainly changing. I don't see *writers* having difficulty with that per se, but i see lots of fans freaking out about it. Look at all the hoopla about the Brandon League signing a coupla weeks ago. In light of what we've seen in the subsequent days, that deal looks almost reasonable.
But yes, your point is well taken: whether it's the new TV money or just the changing landscape of the game, free agents are getting mo money and payrolls are going waaay up. (Ian Miller) |
2012-02-14 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who's the closer in Seattle? (JT from Exhibition Stadium) | Brandon League. He seems underrated this year. (Derek Carty) |
2012-01-18 13:00:00 (link to chat) | If Seattle moves Brandon League mid-season, who takes over as the M's closer? (PepeShady from St Paul) | The obvious candidate is George Sherrill, given his previous closer experience. If he bombs... David Aardsma might be rehabbing by then.
Also, quick use of dianagram's ESC trick has shown me that Aardsma's sister is attractive. -- Dave (Best of BP with Ben and Dave) |
2010-07-09 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who closes in Seattle? Is League still the next best thing if Aardsma is traded or continues to blow saves? (Nordburg from Golfing carrying memorabilia) | Brandon League is supposedly their best trade chip, so neither of them might stay. I don't think the Mariners are too worried about who is going to close games. (Marc Normandin) |
No BP Roundtables have mentioned this guy.
