Hanrahan Out as Nat’s Closer

By: mbohn

Joel Hanrahan is the latest victim of the Philadelphia Phillies bullpen killing offense. After getting blown up by Raul Ibanez on Monday, Hanrahan is sitting with an 8.64 ERA and has already given up three long balls. As a matter of fact, dude has blown three of his five save opportunities, which makes him pretty much worthless right now.
This does not mean that Hanrahan can not reclaim the closer’s job, but Nats’ Manager Manny Acta has already declared a closer by committee. That is pretty funny to me, because the Nats’ bully has combined for six blown saves on the year. Kip Wells and Julian Tavarez are the expected players here, but unless you are in dire need for saves, stay the hell away until Hanrahan gains control again. If I were going to choose one of the two, it would be Wells. Proceed with caution.
