Jim Johnson, Blake Parker will be Setup Guys
7 years agoBoth Los Angeles Angels relief pitchers Jim Johnson and Blake Parker are expected to start the season in setup roles, with Cam Bedrosian serving as the closer for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Bedrosian began last season as the closer as well, but injuries kept him off the field and allowed veteran Bud Norris to take over the role. Bedrosian has been inconsistent and injury-prone in his young career, meaning that both Parker and Johnson are good options for those in deep-mixed or AL-only leagues that want a buffer for saves. Keynan Middleton is in the mix as well, and manager Mike Scioscia is very unpredictable, so this is a bullpen situation to stay away from except in deeper formats.
