4 years agoSan Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Tuesday that he has two pitchers in mind to close for the 2020 season, Tyler Rogers and Tony Watson. Rogers, a 29-year-old sidearmer, was solid in very limited work last season, going 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 22.9% strikeout rate and an 0-for-2 conversion rate for saves over 17 2/3 innings pitched. Watson, a lefty veteran, had an OK 2019 season, going 2-2 with a 4.17 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 17.8% strikeout rate and an 0-for-3 conversion rate on saves over 54 IP. Kapler stressed that he wanted flexibility, stating: "We want these guys to be flexible to take down multiple innings." From a fantasy perspective, this only complicates matters. Hopefully things will become a bit clearer during summer camp, but Watson is the best bet for those speculating on saves.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
