Closer Suggestion

#1 Post by jmette »

Looking for a 2nd closer behind Hand. Only options on the waiver are Zeigler, Kela, Soria, and Shane Greene. Who's the best choice of the 4??

Kela just announced as the primary closer for the rangers but durability issues and a short leash still have me worried. Zeigler is not exciting but effective I feel.

Whoever you choose is in danger of being replaced. Assuming Holland unavailable, Kela for me then look to upgrade later.

Yes, Holland was drafted. Thanks for the help! Will be on the lookout for an upgrade.

just saw this on Rangers' site

Manager Jeff Banister also said that Jepsen and Keone Kela will be the two relievers he calls upon to close out games. Kela will likely get the first shot, while Jepsen will be used on days when Kela is not available.

Hunter Strickland is also available. I feel like he's in the same situation as Kela in that he might not always be the guy they call on.
