Fantasy Baseball Closer Report: Can Bednar’s Comeback Signal a Turning Point as D-Backs Closer Faces Another Blow?
Tier 5: Bottom of the Barrel
Calvin Faucher – Miami Marlins
Zach Agnos – Colorado Rockies
Brandon Eisert/Steven Wilson – Chicago White Sox
Relievers On The Rise/Stash Candidates
The White Sox closer situation has not been one to go chasing for quite a while, but the team did call up an intriguing young reliever from Double-A Birmingham, skipping the Triple-A level. Twenty-three-year-old Grant Taylor logged 26 2/3 innings in Double-A, posting an impressive 1.01 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and a 37/11 K/BB ratio while generating a 17.1% swinging-strike rate. If he can translate similar production at the MLB level, Taylor can quickly work his way into the saves mix in Chicago, few as they may come.
