Closer Watch - A closer look at intriguing ninth-inning situations (check out our Closer Grid with the link to the left).

OAK - Brian Fuentes earned the save Sunday, but Andrew Bailey came off the DL and pitched a flawless seventh inning. Bailey should supplant Fuentes/Grant Balfour as the team's closer soon, but he might not be able to pitch in back-to-back games for a little bit.

Key Matchups

Recommended Pickup

Eric Young, Jr., 2B/OF, COL - Young has started four consecutive games since his recall Friday, seeing time at second, left and center. He fills a definite need in the speed area for a Rockies club that is sluggish overall. He struggled to get on base during his time with the major league club last year, but he had a career-best .462 OBP at Triple-A Colorado Springs and was 17-for-18 on the basepaths. As long as he hits, Young should remain in the lineup, and he should be good for at least 20+ steals if he sticks in the big leagues.
