Closer Watch

NYY -- Mariano Rivera gave up two runs in the ninth inning against the Rays on Friday. Needless to say, his job security is not in question.

COL -- Rafael Betancourt survived to convert his first save of the season after giving up a dribbler double to Travis Buck and issuing a walk.

Recommended Pickup

Hector Santiago, RP, CHW -- It's a dart, really, but manager Robin Ventura indicated that he's going to use a committee of closers to start the season. Meanwhile, Santiago has impressed the White Sox's coaches with his screwball this spring, and Matt Thornton was summoned to work the eighth inning in a loss to the Rangers on Friday. Add it all up, and you may have a potential closer sitting on the waiver wire in your league.
