Detroit Tigers – We’re two games into the season, and Phil Coke has gotten both save opportunities for the Tigers, entering the game today with 1 out in the 9th inning. He blew the save, retiring the first man before allowing two hits. Additionally, the batters he faced were two lefties and a switch hitter, so Jim Leyland could still very easily be playing matchups, and it could just have fallen on Coke on the first two games of the season. But if you’re only going to own one Tigers reliever, he’s the guy; Joaquin Benoit and Al Alburquerque are also worth stashing, if you have the room. Hierarchy change: Phil Coke to Closer, Joaquin Benoit to Set-up.
