Embree??

Whats anyone's guess on how much longer he has in the closer role? Street is not due back for another 2-3 weeks right? and Dusch??

Assuming he remains effective in the role, I see no reason to believe he won't get the lion's share of the save opps until Street comes back (and I've heard he's a month away as of a couple days ago). And Duch is reportedly further away than Street. So I'd say he'll be closing for a month solid, and that's assuming there are no setbacks in Street's rehab -- hardly a sure thing considering the A's recent history.

Agreed, Embree should be the closer for at least another 3-4 weeks and possibly more, assuming he continues to pitch effectively. Could pick up 5-6 saves during that period and maybe more.
