On the pre-game show today the Jays' manager named Miguel Batista as the team's closer. The reasons for the move are that he said that he needed another strong arm in the bullpen and they wanted to make room for Gustavo Chacin in the rotation.

It does not seem like a ST experiment. They have a schedule for him that will have him working back to back games by next week. Gibbons said that it's not a closer by committee but that Batista has the job.

Batista is now worth a late round flier IMO.

Thanks Mookie ;-)

The thread title to that was sort of deceiving anyway so you might not have seen it. Anyways he's defenitely worth a pickup. It's just too bad I didn't see the before I made my pick in the F14 and Kolb picked him up within minutes of being posted, in the Cafe Challenge.

News I posted on Batista is over 2 hours old....better grag him off the waiver wire while you have the chance. OTher owners are soon to catch wind.

Your in great shape compared to me. Right now I'm pretty much punting saves...I'm stuck with Foulke and.....yep Foulke.

Glad I don't draft for a couple weeks.

... now, I'll just slide Mr. Speier over here to the 'setup' column ...
