Jerusalem, Israel
**********************************
This crew is happily anchored to a dominant closer and setup men.
Closer
CL Jan Chmelyk (2048: 64 G, 4-7, 32 SV, 2.59 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, +1.7 WAR)
Next. Seriously, probably the best or, at worst, 2nd-best closer in UMEBA.
Setup
P Adrian Kraft (2048: 61 G, 7-0, 3 SV, 2.24 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, +1.6 WAR)
P Cyrille Santorio (2048: 59 G, 7-5, 3.97 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, +0.7 WAR)
Kraft was the preferred setup man last season and would probably be the man if Chmelyk were to go down for a length of time. In any case, if the Hammers can get the lead to the 7th-8th inning it should be money.
Relief
We were going to distinguish the battle for middle relief and the battle for long relief, but what's the real difference? I mean, as long as you have guys with stamina to handle long relief...which the Hammers do.
