K/9
How 'bout the closers?
written by: Brett Greenfield   07/03/2008

Strikeout ratio is the most important category for pitchers. Without it, no matter how good their ERA and WHIP are, they will never develop into an ace for your fantasy team.

 

Closers, on the other hand, can strike out a batter per inning regularly.

Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen expressed some concern with the velocity of Bobby Jenks' pitches of late.  He's also given up a lot of hits over his last few outings and it could be a result of that lack of velocity.  Guillen decided to rest Jenks for a few days and he was unavailable for a save opportunity on Wedneday.  Scott Linebrink was given that chance but promptly blew the save by giving up a homerun to Grady Sizemore.  Jenks' owners should be a little worried and adding Linebrink would make for some good insurance should anything go wrong with Jenks between now and year's end.  This news is courtesy of the Chicago Tribune.
