Notes:

12/23: The signing of Rodney could mean a two-closer system or put Fuentes' spot as the primary closer at risk. Jepsen's fantasy value likely takes a hit as he's now No. 3 in line for saves.
10/6: Brian Fuentes topped the majors with 48 saves, but ask Angels' fans if they'd have preferred the likes of Rivera, Papelbon, Nathan, etc. Fuentes posted a 4.81 ERA in the second half with an ugly 12:15 K:BB in 24.1 innings. His $8 million salary assures him he'll open 2010 as the favorite for saves, but Mike Scioscia won't hesitate to pull the plug should Fuentes struggle early. Kevin Jepsen (3.11 post-break ERA) remains the top in-house candidate to push Fuentes for his job, but look for the Angels to bring in outside help in 2010. Scot Shields (knee surgery) likely won't be back, and Jose Arredondo followed up an impressive 2008 with a 6.53 ERA in 2009, so he's not an option either.
