MLB.com's Mark Sheldon hints new Reds manager David Bell might not use Raisel Iglesias as a traditional closer in 2019. (MLB.com)

Fantasy Impact:

Sheldon notes that new Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson comes from Milwaukee where the franchise used their best relievers in the most high leverage situations, regardless of what inning that came in. Until we hear definitively, however, we should still be drafting Iglesias as a top closer in fantasy. His fantasy value would obviously take a hit if the Reds announce he'll be used more as a "relief ace".
