Although Watson has converted seven of eight saves opportunities since taking over the closing duties in Pittsburgh, he's struggled with his control.

EDGE Analysis

He's allowed six hits and four walks in 7.2 innings, giving up four runs (three earned). Watson has faced the three-man minimum just one time in seven opportunities, putting runners on in nearly every outing. As a set-up man, Watson faced the minimum of three batters in 19 of 40 opportunities. Still, the Pirates aren't close to replacing Watson with Neftali Feliz -- who continues to perform well in an eighth-inning role.
