Jim Leyland offered little help last week to fantasy owners trying to figure out the Detroit closing situation. Leyland stated that he would be comfortable using any of the seven arms he currently has in the bullpen to close out a game in the ninth.
With Opening Day and "final" roster decisions here, we have a better handle on AL West playing time ... at least for April. Jed Lowrie, for example, is at his old SS spot. And per usual, injuries are a factor in many of these early calls...
The Yankees are turning to Vernon Wells to help combat a spate of injuries this spring. But how much help will he offer? The Orioles are looking for help, too, after an injury to Wilson Betemit, while the Red Sox are ready to break camp with a young phenom.
Less than a week before Opening Day, the immediate outlooks for the Angels Pen, A's 2B job, the Ranger #5 spot—and nearly everywhere in unsettled, crowded Houston—remain murky.
