I was in our AL draft Sunday afternoon when I see a tweet from someone about Bailey’s thumb. Fifteen minutes later I have a 70 cent (out of 26 dollar salary cap) Malancon on my roster. If he manages to hold the closer job for even a few weeks that will be my most economical move of the draft. We always talk about how expensive closers are bad investments, well Bailey went for around 3 dollars shortly before I saw his injury tweet.

Actually, that might not be a bad choice considering Bard is supposed to be in the rotation. Aceves can pitch no matter where he’s at, .. the guy is fearless.

I’m wondering though how long it will be before the Nation starts besting the injury drum?

He had a nice year down in Houston. Granted nobody cared down there and closing in a big market can be a different beast, but considering I picked him up on my fantasy team I admit to being bias.
