Rockies Turn to Juan Mejia for Third Save, Seeing Closer Value Increase?
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Juan Mejia got the call in the ninth inning of a one-run game on Monday night and shut down the Rangers on one hit and one strikeout to earn his third save of the season. Former closer Victor Vodnik was charged with three runs after starting the eighth inning, but Brennan Bernardino was able to close out the frame with the Rockies still holding a one-run lead. Mejia and Antonio Senzatela will continue to share closing responsibilities in Colorado, although both were available on Monday and Mejia got the call, giving him a slight advantage at this point. Senzatela could also emerge as a trade candidate, giving Mejia more long-term upside as the potential full-time option. For now, Mejia is trending in the right direction and makes a solid addition if you need saves in deeper leagues.
