Tom Wilhelmsen (RP, SEA) - Closer Waiver Wire Pickups and Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Saves Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: In today's game versus the Chicago White Sox, the Mariners threw us a curveball regarding their closer situation and who may be getting the saves chances moving forward. Previous closer Carson Smith came on in the 7th inning, and stayed in for the 8th inning as well. Tom Wilhelmsen then came in for the save opportunity and nailed it down with a hitless inning in the 9th.

It will be interesting to see if Wilhelmsen will be getting the bulk of the saves chances moving forward, but if you're looking to add more saves to your fantasy baseball team then he can be added as a closer flier off the waiver wire at the very least. If you recall, Wilhelmsen ricked up 29 saves in 2012 and 24 saves in 2013 for the Mariners. He very well may be the guy going forward. Stay tuned for more updates soon.
