probably yes

Where can I find a list of closers ranked in accordance with their estimated fantasy value and projected statistics from any given point in the season until the end of the season, and sortable by name, ranking, and statistics etc.

Is it safe to say Percival's career as a closer(or anything) is done?

yes

[Rohan]

Why hasn't the closer been updated updated for Tampa Bay Rays? It still reads Percival as the closer. My guess is Wheeler. J.P. Howell is a lefty. It's unlikely they'd give it the him because of that reason. He may get a few more saves for tuff left handed outs

I think you'll find it has been.
Nothing has really been set in concrete yet with TB, so Havok can't exactly pull a proclamation out of his butt.

No it hasn't. Percival is NOT the closer. Are you trying to find a picture of Dan Wheeler?

Any reason Gutierrez is in to close out the game instead of Qualls? It's not a consecutive days thing, btw -- Qualls pitched yesterday (with not-so-great effects), but not the day before.

Has anyone else been announced officially?
No.

Has Percival retired officially?
No.

Therefore as-is is correct, and anything else would just be a guess.

Why would I be looking for a pic of Wheeler? I don't run this thread.

Andrew Bailey in for the save opp in Oakland. Is Ziegler unavailable or is he officially in front of him for saves now?

[djxskillz]

bailey gets the save no hits no walks 2 ks
