Joaquin Benoit (RP, SD) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add Immediately

ANALYSIS: By now you've surely heard the most recent closer carousel news. Huston Street has been sent 90 minutes north and is closing for the Los Angeles Angels, and Joaquin Benoit has inherited the Padres 9th inning duties.  Benoit proved last year he can handle the closing reigns, racking up 24 saves for the contending Detroit Tigers; he's consistently put up more than 9 K/9 and respectable BB/9 numbers. If you need a reliable closer who pitches in a ton of close games, Benoit is a no brainer addition to your fantasy baseball team.
