LOL I'd grab Saito ASAP
Joke aside, Paps got a 4 out save and threw something like 40 pitches while struggling with command. I don't think he will be available tomorrow so you just might want to pick up Saito for a possible opp tomorrow.

Apr. 11 - 7:23 pm et Trevor Hoffman (oblique) played catch from 120 feet Saturday without incident.
Hoffman is expected to get on a mound Wednesday for a bullpen session. He'll throw a couple of those, a simulated game or two, then comes the rehab assignment. "He's definitely going to pitch somewhere, there's no doubt about that," manager Ken Macha said. "There will be a rehab assignment, yeah."
Any idea when he should be expected to pitch in the majors?

Some speculation of early May(believe I read on rotoworld) but I think it all depends on how well he does Wednesday.

yes ziegler is not very good, but it's not like casilla didn't hurt himself by getting into a bases loaded, no out jam.
Well, one of those runners was by error. And as to what has Ziegler done to suck, he has given up a run in 2 of 3 appearances already on top of letting all 3 of those inherited runners in. Casilla has been used for an inning plus in each of his 2 appearances and in each he had a 1-2-3 first IP. I certainly don't think a change is in order yet but that is the basis of my "Ziegler sucks" comment. I like Casilla to close eventually but a couple more bad outings by Ziegler would have to happen first and he hasn't blown a save yet so that is something good on his side.
Jason Frasor, RP TOR News: Blue Jays closer B.J. Ryan made things interesting Saturday in the ninth by allowing a hit and three walks to give the Indians life. Ryan allowed three earned runs in a non-save chance He was pulled in favor of Jason Frasor, who got the final out of the win and got his first save of the season. Analysis: Ryan blew a save in his only other opportunity this season, but he managed to get a win in that game. He has allowed four earned runs in two appearances and is off to a slow start, but he is in no immediate danger of losing his job. Fantasy owners should continue to view him as a starting closer in AL-only play and mixed leagues that require two closers. As for Frasor, it is clear to see that he would be first in line for saves if something happens to Ryan.
Wow...how do those guys get paid to give advice?
Before today, Frasor was the lowest reliever on the depth chart, and I really doubt he'll move in front of guys like Downs, League, Carlson, or Tallet any time soon.

That is unbelievable. They don't even say that he may be in the mix for saves, they say it's CLEAR that he's first in line.
