O's Tab Baez as New Closer

UPDATE: Baez nailed down a save on his first night on the job. I truly feel that Chris Ray is going to be out for the season; therefore, make a move to obtain Baez if you need the saves. Only in deeper leagues would Baez already be had, so he is probably sitting right there on your waiver-wire to be claimed. What are you waiting for? Go!

Say adios to the Orioles excruciatingly confusing "Closer By Committee" situation between Chad Bradford and Jamie Walker. So, which one did manager Dave Trembley go with?

Well...neither, actually. Former closer Danys Baez has been pitching lights out since his return from the DL, prompting Trembley to offer the closer job to him. Baez will only hold down the position until Chris Ray returns, but I believe by the sound of Ray's injury it is less of a "when" Ray returns as it is an "IF" he returns. Ray's diagnosis does not sound good and I would not be the least bit surprised to hear within a week that Ray is being shutdown for the season. Keep your ears open on this one.

As for Baez, he's been horribly inconsistent as a setup man, but when he was a closer, he was damn good at it. Let's see if he can get a little bit of that magic back. Baez is obviously far more valuable now than when he was a setup man, so go and grab him as a high-risk closer. Don't expect the world from him, but if he settles in nicely, you might just have picked yourself up a nice little surprise. If you are a Chris Ray owner, then obtaining Baez is an absolute must, just as a safety net in case Ray is indeed out long-term.
