Chicago White Sox – Ronald Belisario could only get 1 out in the 9th inning on Friday night and after the game, Robin Ventura finally pulled the plug on the laboring righty. The only person mentioned specifically as being “in the mix” for save opportunities is Jake Petricka — the man who bailed Belisario out on Friday. We like Zach Putnam’s ratios a lot better, while Javy Guerra has the most experience, and Daniel Webb has carried the “future closer” tag for a while. But actually converting a save carries a lot of weight, so we’ll stick Petricka in the lead until we hear more.
Updated hierarchy: Petricka | Putnam | Guerra.
