In this article I give hard facts on why closers are an important area in fantasy baseball. He s back John Rocker has returned to the Atlanta Braves with some mixed performances. Apparently his bad outings are due to a cut on his thumb. He is having a problem with it opening up every time he pitches which triggers some inflammation. Hopefully with some effective treatment, getting the problem fixed could be the key to finding his command back in the closer role.
Rocker is the main man in Atlanta right now.
But until he gets his complete command back, Remlinger and Kerry Ligtenberg will be seeing save opportunities here and there. Even though Remlinger has had a tough month, he still a premier set-up man. But he has pitched a lot of innings this year. Perhaps the rest will do him good. My rating of him has not changed since day one.
