    Fuentes, closing again!



    I'm a little irritated by this.

    Earlier this week, ESPN and CBS Sports both reported Ed Balfour to be the new closer.
    Fuentes was dropped in 44% of ESPN Fantasy leagues.

    Just wondering, does anybody have a better source of knowing who is going to close for the A's?

    I know Andrew Bailey has just started rehab, but dammit, it would be nice to know the closer ahead of time.

    Fuentes' little blow-up didn't appear to hurt his chances in the closing role. Also, Balfour giving up 3 runs with a 4 run lead against the Angels didn't really cement him as the closer.

    Until Bailey comes back, A's closing out wins will always be a 50/50 proposition.
