00:00Let's go to Philadelphia, where the casual fan may not realize it, but Jordan Romano's not the closer there.

00:05Shouldn't be, won't be. He's now moved to low-leverage situations, as Joe pointed out earlier in the show.

00:11But who is the closer, and how available could he be?

00:14Well, in four out of ten leagues, this name is available. Joe, who's it going to be?

00:19It's absurd that Jose Alvarado is still available in this many leagues.

00:22And even through the weekend, it's gone up to 70%, so that's good.

00:25So this is more like, look, we know he's probably gone in your league.

00:29I get that. But if for some reason he's still floating out there at 30% of them, please, please go roster him.

00:36I feel like a broken record. He's been on this list for two weeks.

00:40So you've got to roster Alvarado. He is the guy right now, and what a start he has had to the season two.

00:4413 strikeouts in seven innings, two walks. The ERA is at one. The whip is at one. Great start for Alvarado.
