Roll The Dice and We Get Drew Storen!
For the record I never understood why Drew Storen was removed from the closer role for the Nationals at the start of the season. IN the first game of a double header, Jim Riggleman decided to bring Sean Burnett in for a two inning save and save Drew Storen for the night cap. It never got that far. Sean Burnett was relived after giving up 3 hits and an RBI single to Albert Pujols. Storen … Read entire article »

Top 10 Sleeper Closers For 2011
1. Craig Kimbrel, Atlanta Braves – This guy is the right-handed version of Billy Wagner. With a 98MPH fastball and a propensity to strikeout batters, Kimbrel has what it takes to close. He’s on a great team that will provide him with plenty of save opportunities. He also lacked any serious competition in the Braves bullpen, though Venters is slightly capable. 2. Drew Storen, Washington Nationals – Last year I felt some heat with discussing … Read entire article »

Matt Capps Traded to Minnesota: Enter Drew Storen
The first of the the closers to move teams is Matt Capps. He was traded to Minnesota, opening the door for Drew Storen or Tyler Clippard. Both are more than capable to close, but Drew Storen was drafted to close. Storen has shown flashes of brilliance this year and overall has been fantastic out of the bullpen with a 2.73 ERA and 26 Ks. Tyler Clippard as been good this year, but inconsistent. He’s 8-6 with a 3.26 ERA. I feel that the Nationals will look to their future and put Storen out there. It’s low pressure and the Nationals aren’t going anywhere. Next year, the Nationals will open with Storen at closer and he should close the rest of this season.
