It feels like the Tigers have been searching for a closer since Todd Jones retired -- Percival, Valverde, Nathan, Soria. They prey on dead meat so much, they're more like the Vultures than Tigers. Papelbon recently was heard saying, "I am going to close forever. Wait, are those Tigers' front office people circling above me? Crap!" It's too bad none of the Syrian refugees don't have closing experience. So, hopefully, the Tigers' wait to find a closer is finally over. Unless Bruce Rondon is reading this, then the wait has just begun. Assuming Francisco Rodriguez doesn't get off the plane in Detroit, see an Alburquerque jersey, think he's in New Mexico, then beat the crap out of an American Airlines pilot for flying him to the wrong city, and get arrested by federal authorities for beating up an employee of a company with the word "American" in the name and get sent to Gitmo. Sure, this sounds unlikely, not impossible though. With K-rod sent to the Tigers, I'll give him the projections of 4-2/2.69/1.02/66, 42 saves in 61 IP. As for the Brewers, their closer now is Jeremy Jeffress, Will Smith or Corey Knebel, i.e., the offseason is still young and they could trade for someone. Anyway, here's what else I saw this offseason for 2016 fantasy baseball:
