This article references David Price, Joakim Soria, Joe Nathan, Torii Hunter and more! After an opening day save, Detroit Tigers closer, Joe Nathan, has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right flexor strain in his pitching elbow, according to HardballTalk. The 40-year-old, 15-year veteran, was hoping to bounce back from a really bad season. Nathan pitched in 62 games last season with Detroit. He finished with a 4.81 ERA, while he had a 1.39 and 2.80 ERA the previous two seasons. Nathan came in for the one-out save on opening day as David Price was unable to go the distance[...]Keep on reading: Tigers Place Joe Nathan On 15-Day DL: Soria New Closer

Detroit Tigers The Tigers closer situation is fairly settled, though not exactly awe-inspiring. Joe Nathan is currently set to lock down the ninth inning, with Joakim Soria and Al Alburquerque backing him up. The 40-year-old Nathan is a far cry from the perennial All Star that used to close for the Twins in the 2000s, and I have little faith in him after a questionable 2014 season. An abysmal ERA (4.81) and WHIP (1.534) were not masked by the 35 saves he did manage to secure. You can’t for[...]Keep on reading: MLB Closer Breakdown: AL Central Edition – 2015 Fantasy Baseball

  Fantasy baseball players hearts are aflutter after all the wheeling/dealing that has been going on in MLB. Gotta love it. This piece will discuss the players that have changed teams.

Let's wind er up and let her rip. Some of the more intriguing storylines in fantasy baseball follow. Bruce Chen allowed one run over six innings Tuesday. I can't say anything other than I'm shocked to look at his pitching line and see that he's 4-0 with a 1.97 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 45.2 [...]
