Sherrill Traded to the Dodgers, Jim Johnson to Close

Baltimore closer George Sherill was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers today for two minor league prospects. Sherrill, who had been enjoying a terrific season for Baltimore (20 Sv, 39 K's in 41.1 innings), will see his fantasy value evaporate as he slides into a set up roll in Los Angeles. Jim Johnson (6% owned in Yahoo Leagues) is the likely replacement in Baltimore, and is worthy of an add in all formats. Scout C.P. Staley

Ray and Johnson to Get Save Chances

Relief pitcher and former closer Chris Ray will be part of a closer-by-committee with current closer Baltimore Orioles' closer George Sherril. Jim Johnson could see some save chances while it is now reported that former closer Danys Baez will not get chances. The former closer Chris Ray could be the best bet at this point because it was his job before he was injured, but Jim Johnson is playing the best right now. Both are worth looks if you need saves Sin City Scout
