Well ... Johnson was 51-54 last year and 14-14 this year before his
recent slump. He's also 29 years old and throws about 100 mph. So
I'll take my chances. (Plus I have Ripper favorite Pedro Strop in
reserve!) As for Pestano, he's a good handcuff for Chris Perez.
The hope is that I'll have two closers going into next year. (That
said, if Gose pans out, then I agree: The Brats screwed me.)<br>
<br>
Anyway, I'm officially open for business and playing no favorites --
other than being unwilling to help the Bombers. <br>

<div>I sort of get the offense for saves part, but I think Andy
overpaid from that perspective. More importantly, why would a
team that's going nowhere this year (K9) take on a long-term
contract on a guy who's about one bad outing away from
becoming a former closer? It's not as if Pestano will be a
big enough bargain at $9 to offset Johnson's contract, if
Pestano takes over the job. I think Andy screwed himself.</div>

<div>Meanwhile, looking at developments that may actually be
relevant to the title chase, Ryan Madson's looking like toast:</div>
<blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr">
<div class="report">Ryan Madson has experienced yet another
setback in his recovery from Tommy John elbow surgery.</div>
<div class="impact">Madson felt renewed soreness in his right
arm while trying to throw this week and has been shut down
indefinitely. There is no longer a timetable for his return
and he can be dropped in most fantasy formats at this point.

<div>With Jeff and Block deadlocked in saves, and June 1 right
around the corner, I feel a flurry of activity coming on.</div>
