Emmanuel Clase Will Be Part Of Closer Committee In Cleveland

3 years agoCleveland Indians relief pitcher Emmanuel Clase will get save opportunities this season. The Indians will use a committee of Clase, James Karinchak, and Nick Wittgren for save chances this season, manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. Clase had a 4.32 ERA this spring with 11 strikeouts and no walks in 8.1 innings. Karinchak entered spring as the leading candidate for the closer role but struggled with a 6.52 ERA and ten walks in 9.2 innings. Wittgren looked sharp with a 1.08 ERA and nine strikeouts in 8.1 innings. It sounds like the closer situation could be in flux early in the season. He's a talented guy who now has some appeal in deeper leagues, but he's definitely one to keep an eye on early in the season in all formats.--James Stokke
