Will Ohman is now officially the Baltimore Orioles closer, according to Tristan Cockcroft.  How long he will last will be determined by the health of Mike Gonzalez and Alfredo Simon.  Ohman is off to a great season, with 17 strikeouts to go with his 0.00 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 15.2 innings of work.  Sure, he may not get a lot of save opportunities playing for Baltimore, but as any savvy fantasy baseball player knows even the closers on the worst teams can have tremendous value over the life of a season.

So pick up Ohman if he is available, whether you need saves or not.  Ohman is a contributor across the board, with wins being the lone exception.  Do not be scared away by the fact that he entered the year in AAA at 32 years of age, or the fact that he has an 11 - 9 career record.  Over his career he has a 243:122 K:BB ratio, which might not be stellar but when you consider that he only has 246.2 innings of work it looks much better.  Lets hope dude remains lights out for the rest of the season, and that you are quick enough to nab him. 

Oh, and as the picture shows, Ohman does not play around, so he should have a great mentality for the closer role.  That is, if this is really Will Ohman in the picture (kinda hard to be 100% on that).  It also looks like me may keep an attack spider in his pocket (look under his elbow on Wilson's pants, sure looks like a spider to me...)....
