Jonny Venters, closer? It only sounds like a setup, and it’s FAABin’ early

Venters: stuck in the eighth?

On opening day, Fredi Gonzalez sent Jonny Venters to the roto waiver wire in a league or two. I'm sure of it.

The Atlanta Braves' skipper called on his left-handed "co-closer" (so we thought, right?) in the eighth stanza of his club's victory against the Washington Nationals. Due up were Ian Desmond, Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman - all right-handed hitters. That set up right-handed Craig Kimbrel, the club's other "co-closer," to face ... Adam LaRoche (lefty), Mike Morse (righty) and Rick Ankiel (lefty).

Say what?
