Whenever a manager gives a tepid declaration of support for his closer, fantasy players' ears perk-up with the possibility of getting a closer from the free agent pool or via the draft at the price of a mere middle reliever.  Texas Rangers' manager Ron Washington said this about his current closer C.J.
