San Francisco Giants – Jeremy Affeldt just picked up his 3rd save of the season, and is a good bet to continue getting save chances for the Giants. Bruce Bochy said that the acquisition of Jose Mijares allowed him to move Affeldt into a full-fledged committee with Casilla, Romo, and Javier Lopez. Casilla has been struggling with a blister on his right hand and has been unavailable on occasion lately, Romo is still being held out of back-to-back action for the most part as he recovers from several long-term injuries, and Lopez is more of a LOOGY type who will be situational at best. That leaves Affeldt, who has been steady and solid for the Giants all season. Hierarchy change: Jeremy Affeldt to Closer, Santiago Casilla to Set-up, Sergio Romo to 2nd in line.
