July 11, 201312 yr http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/daniel-we...tential-closer/ This is a pretty good article about Daniel Webb. People on this site have had differing opinions about him.
July 11, 201312 yr Nice read, and this coincides with Balta's impression of him too. I feel a lot better about him in the top 10 now.
July 11, 201312 yr You could hear the excitement in the scout's voice on that video. Pretty neat. I'm sure he'll be a major leaguer soon - might he be considered a Marco Paddy player as he came out of Toronto? Not international, though
July 11, 201312 yr Very good article. Honestly, I do like Reed a lot as our closer. His ERA is a little inflated with giving up runs in non save situations and 2 of his blown saves are because of the defense letting him down. With that being said, I can definitely see Webb coming up once Lindstrom, Thronton and Crain get traded, that if he continues his success in AAA. Going forward, we might be seeing Axelrod in the long relief role, Castro replacing Lindstrom, Webb replacing Crain and a young LHP to replace Thornton (I don't know if we have that in the system, Rodriguez?). But things could get interesting.
July 11, 201312 yr That Frasor trade, which already provided value in getting money off the books, is looking pretty darn good right now. Jaye is doing pretty well too.

Jaye is doing pretty well too. Just looked at his stats too this season. Jaye, I could see having a ceiling of a back end type of the rotation guy. I am impressed how he is pitching though as of late.

His name is Nathaniel Stoltz, I've used his videos in a couple articles and he provides some good info on Kanny and WS guys from games. He recently joined Fangraphs, also writes for Beyond the Box Score.

Yeah, we actually do our research and put a lot of thought into the rankings. Who knew? It's hard not to like what Webb brings. He is the rare scenario of a minor league reliever holding strong value. Big velocity and closer upside.
July 12, 201312 yr The question right now is what is Reed worth on the trade market? Obviously, the White Sox would probably prefer one year grooming Webb in a set-up role, just like they did with Sergio Santos. Reed is one of the few that has been a closer almost his entire career in college and the pros.
