It looks like Jim Johnson:
Jim R. Johnson, SP BAL
News: The Orioles placed closer George Sherrill on the 15-day DL with left shoulder inflammation Tuesday. Jim R. Johnson might be the temporary closer for the O's the next few weeks.
Analysis: Sherrill's days as an O's closer were great at times, but they might be over. By the time Sherrill can return, Chris Ray (Tommy John surgery) could be ready for the O's. If you want to cut Sherrill in mixed leagues right now, you are certainly justified. Johnson is a nice sleeper in deeper leagues if you need a candidate for saves in the coming weeks.
