The Closer Catch-Up: The Herrera We All Deserve

The Royals have played 14 games at home so far this season. Do you know how many they've won? Just three.Saturday's 5-2 win over the White Sox reminded me just how great Kelvin Herrera can and could be.

Herrera tallied just his fifth save over the weekend, and if you weren't paying attention, I'd forgive you for…

Al Melchior’s Draft Day Targets

When I wrote my sleepers column a couple of weeks back, I had yet to begin most of my drafts, but figured I would be targeting the potential bargains I wrote about frequently. Now that many of my drafts are in progress or have been completed, it turns out I own every single player featured in the column on at least one of my teams, with several players finding homes on more than one of my teams.Yet there are other players who are repeatedly popping up on my rosters and draft queues, even though I did not go out and…
