Craig Kimbrel may be in danger of losing closer role
by John Aubin | Orioles Correspondent | Sun, Oct 2nd 7:27am EDT
Craig Kimbrel allowed one run on a walk, a wild pitch and two sacrifices in one inning in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Toronto. Boston's closer has walked six of the last 13 batters faced and has been tagged with losses in two of the last three games. When asked if he would consider moving Craig Kimbrel out of the closer role, Red Sox manager John Farrell said, "At this moment, no."
Fantasy Impact:
With the playoffs days away this is the worst time for Kimbrel to lose his control on the mound. This will be an interesting decision for the Red Sox. But Kimbrel has been a dominant closer for years and should be able to right himself if not for the playoffs than for next season.
