New Closer in Texas

As most fantasy owners know by now, the Twins have acquired Eddie Guardado from the Rangers and will hopefully fill the void left in the 8th inning by Neshak.

The Rangers will now turn to Frank Francisco to close out games. Owners who are in desperate need of saves should make sure to grab him NOW! For owners who have Guardado, you can now drop him because he will have no chances at saves since Mr. Nathan is still wearing a Twins uniform.

Zumaya, Guardado, Gagne

Joel Zumaya of the Tigers is back and with his 100MPH heat, he should be on all fantasy rosters for his ability to give owners huge strikeout totals. See if he is out there on the wire.

Eddie Guardado of the Rangers is still pitching and has shown that he can still do it at his age. This former closer has the ability to close when given the chance and with the problems in the Texas bullpen owners should grab Guardado just in case there is a change in closers. With CJ Wilson holding the closers role at the moment, owners who have Wilson should hedge your bets with Guardado.

Eric Gagne of the Brewers is going to return after finishing a rehab stint in the minors. When he returns he is not going to the closer, Torres holds that role, but since the Brewers are paying him $10million for his services, don't expect the Brewers to make a switch the second Torres falters. Currently, I have Gagne and I'm going to stash him on my bench to see if he can return and provide some quality innings, I don't enjoy him pitching 0.1 innings and giving up 5ER's.
