Who's The Closer?

PrintI've got a website (Who's the Closer?) that tracks MLB closers, but I can't find any information on who's going to be the guy in Seattle. Is it going to be Heilman, Tyler Walker, or someone else?
I'm not trying to be a blog-whore, I'm a regular over at Halos Heaven and I thought since I can usually get my questions answered there, the Mariner's fans would be willing to help out too.
Thanks for your help.

The M’s have decided that the only way to harness his arm is by having him throw 20 pitches every third night of the week to pick up the most worthless of counting stats.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
It worked for the Royals with Tony Pena Jr.

Hey now.
I come in peace.
But yeah, usually…once you sort through some of the smart-ass replies (just like most sites).
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
Nothing against you

This statement is more irony-filled than Iran Man is.

Unintentionally comedic post. I meant Iron Man.

I feel bad for someone who has put so much effort into their website

This is why you are classier than me.
My instinctual answer to this fanpost question was “your mom.”
Fear the NPE
At this point I'm kinda expecting it to be Batista unless Lowe is all of a sudden really good again.
I miss kick ass Mark Lowe.
the closer role eats walls?

I know, I was just critiquing your organization.

Jared Wells is not in the org anymore as far as I can tell

No idea
Batista has the most ‘experience’ in that role, though I don’t know that Wakamatsu cares about that.
Heilman and Walker are decent guesses, though there are always dark horses like Corcoran.

Or Cuffs Caudill, but he’s a Boras client so the M’s might not want to deal with him.
At least it's relevant everyone's fantasy team.
Instead of “Hey guys I got Pujols!!!”
Which we’ll inevitably see in the Opening Day gamethread.
The thing I didn't pick up for the longest time, how many people are into the fantasy baseball.
For the longest I thought LL had nothing to do with rotisserie leagues.
Officially it doesn't. Fantasy discussion is generally frowned upon.
But many of us play, I’m sure. Lots of people like fantasy baseball. But there’s just zero value in hearing about someone else’s fantasy team unless they’re in your league or whatever.
During game threads, I’d rather see a freaking LOLcat than “Oh come on Beltre hit it out! I need to win homers this week!” It’s just the implication that anyone else would care about your pretend baseball team that riles people. And it’s so prevalent on other sports blogs that LL is a bit of an oasis.
Exactly.
Even if someone’s in my league I don’t care about their team – their team is not my team, therefore it is of limited to no interest to me.

Basically the only other people who would care about (say) my fantasy basketball team
would be the other eleven players in my league

Seems like the professional sport tea blogs are a gateway to the fantasy team sites.
I’m probably over emphasizing the connection I draw between statistics and fantasy sports.
We're 0-2 with new poster FanPosts today
although this one isn’t terrible. C’mon, newbies, raise your games.

Thanks guys...
I appreciate all of your input.
And with putting up with an Angels’ fan on your site.
Good luck this season.
I was uncool before uncool was cool.
Oh, we have absolutely no problem with Angels fans who want to talk about baseball
we dislike the “marners sux go angels monkey monkey monkey!” fans

It almost used to be tradition
on the ESPN boards for some random asshat to ask who our closer would be before the season and then have everyone give a random fake answer.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
Miguel Batista will be the closer.
Until July, when Batista and his 23 saves will be traded. Mark Lowe will then take up the role.
That implies
We’ll have at least 23 wins by June. That’s quite an assumption.
Your favorite meme is dead
Mark Lowe
declared earlier today that he is going into ST to try to win the job, and apparently has been mentioning it to Wak every chance he gets.
If Lowe can be a baller again he is by far the best option
