Drafting closers has been a touchy subject for me this season. My failure to evaluate this position properly has grown into a disgust for all big league stoppers (angry over the ones I drafted and pissed at the ones who are good that i passed up), forcing me to move 'drafting closers' up my   more...

Manager Phil Garner said he would be open to having Brad Lidge as his closer to start the 2007 season, despite the troubles that have plagued the righthander this year.Lidge's 31 saves rank sixth in the National League, and he has six blown saves.

Phillies starter J.D. Durbin failed to record an out as the Florida Marlins routed him for 7 runs in the 1st inning enroute to a 12-6 drubbing of the Phils in game two of their series. The loss ended the Phillies 6 game winning streak which included a 4 game sweep of the NL East leading Mets.
