Listen, it takes me a few decades to get this closer thing right.  I'm still traumatized from the year I spent $36 on Joe Grahe.

(Plus I have Ripper favorite Pedro Strop in reserve!)  As for Pestano, he's a good handcuff for Chris Perez.  The hope is that I'll have two closers going into next year.  (That said, if Gose pans out, then I agree:  The Brats screwed me.)

>> I sort of get the offense for saves part, but I think Andy overpaid from that perspective.  More importantly, why would a team that's going nowhere this year (K9) take on a long-term contract on a guy who's about one bad outing away from becoming a former closer?  It's not as if Pestano will be a big enough bargain at $9 to offset Johnson's contract, if Pestano takes over the job.  I think Andy screwed himself.

>> Madson felt renewed soreness in his right arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point. Ernesto Frieri is the Angels' ninth-inning man. May 22 - 4:15 PM
