What are the odds that you still own the relief pitchers you rostered in your fantasy baseball draft? KFFL.com's Fantasy Baseball Closer Hot Seat series gives you no-nonsense ratings of performances, injuries and managerial decisions in MLB bullpens. Get your arm loose: Let's find fantasy baseball players in your rotisserie or head-to-head baseball league who'll get saves. Key
Texas RangersCloser: Neftali Feliz (DL) Understudy: Darren Oliver, Arthur Rhodes Lurkers: Darren O'Day, Cody Eppley, Alexi Ogando, Tanner Scheppers
With Feliz on the DL, this will be a committee deal. Oliver nabbed a smooth save Saturday. Rhodes did the same Sunday, retiring the only batter he faced; the Rangers entered the ninth with a four-run lead but ran into trouble. Oliver, who probably has the edge here because of his success versus righties and lefties, was unavailable Sunday because he had pitched the previous two days. Don't forget about the two snuffers of righty bats: The soft-tossing, righty-stopping O'Day will probably get a look or two. Eppley doesn't have closer stuff but might get a shot if needed, considering he did the job a bit in the minors. The team expects Feliz to be back soon after, if not on, his May 6 eligible return date. Consider this a stopgap deal, not a long-term investment opportunity. Job security score: 5 Health score: 4 Mound meetings
