Tommy Kahnle (RP, COL) - Closer Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Saves Leagues

OWNED IN: 9% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Earlier today, Tommy Kahnle was officially named the new closer for the Colorado Rockies. John Axford was removed from the role a few days back, and Kahnle nailed down his first save of the year least night versus the Washington Nationals. Kahnle has pitched very well all season long, posting a 2.60 ERA and 1.37 WHIP, to go along with a 35:17 K:BB ration in 27 2/3 IP. The walks are a little high, but the strikeout rate is excellent. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the new role, but he should be able to help out your team in the saves category down the stretch. At only 9% owned, he's still widely available in fantasy baseball leagues, so if you're looking for a closer off the waiver wire, grab Kahnle and see how this plays out over the next few weeks.
