General manager Sandy Alderson did not give closer Jeurys Familia a vote of confidence when asked about the bullpen on Saturday, Newsday's David Lennon reports. "As of right now do we have a closer? You tell me," Alderson said.

EDGE Analysis

Familia has allowed just one run in four innings since returning from his suspension, but he has also allowed 10 baserunners over that span (four hits, six walks), prompting Alderson's displeased comment regarding the state of the ninth inning. Reed was already worth owning in deeper mixed leagues for his ratios, strikeouts and the fact that he would be next in line if Familia got hurt, but now it seems like there is a legitimate chance that Reed could assume the role based on merit if Familia's performance does not improve.
