Santiago Casilla (RP, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

ANALYSIS: With the recent news that the struggling Sergio Romo has been removed from the closer's role, Santiago Casilla becomes an immediate addition to our waiver wire sleepers list for saves. Bruce Bochy stated that Casilla and Jeremy Affeldt would form a committee, but we prefer Casilla is the better option for saves as long as Romo remains out of the closer's role. Casilla has great numbers this year, with a 1.14 ERA and 0.86 WHIP to go along with 21 K in 31 1/3 innings. Casilla is also righty, which should provide more opportunities to close out games, and it doesn't hurt his chances that Affeldt had a poor outing on Sunday giving up 3 hits and 2 ER in just 1/3 IP. Grab Casilla asap if he's still available in your league, as he's still only owned in 30% of Yahoo leagues.
