According to RotoWire, Speier has now lost the closer's job, or his share of the closer's job and Brian Fuentes is now the Rockies closer:
Brian Fuentes (P) COL 9/3/2003
Fuentes, and not Justin Speier, is now the Rockies' closer, the Denver Post reports. Manager Clint Hurdle wanted to have Fuentes close starting this weekend in Los Angeles, but the Rockies were swept by the Dodgers and never had a save opportunity arise.
i hate set up men!!! i'm in a league that has holds as a stat. every person i pick up for holds (ayala, riske, fuentes, hasegawa) ends up in the closing position. i don't need saves, i need holds! arrrrrrgghhhh!!!!!
Would you drop David Weathers for him? I currently have Looper, Kim, and Weathers (who is holding the spot for Smoltz while he is on the DL).
"One of the teams represents truth, justice, the American way, and underdogs everywhere. The other represents George Steinbrenner!" - U.S. News and World Reports columnist John Leo on the difference between the Mets and the Yankees.
Yeah, I probably would drop Weathers for him. Apparently, Moreno is now going to be splitting save opps with the Mets and he already was sharing with Franco and Stanton. Fuentes sounds like he should get the majority of saves for his team the rest of the way. The Coors Field thing is the only possible hangup.
