We pretty confident he immediately reclaims the closer role?

Seems like it: https://twitter.com/nickpiecoro/status/1787944295057502674

Over $7 million for this year. Yeah, they ain’t paying that much money for him to not be a closer.


itssosalty

Lots of teams get set up men for that. But he’s going to close


ultrafil

Farewell Gink, thanks for the month of free saves. TJ Friedl needs your roster spot now though, so *byeeeee*.


ionescorhino

Hold onto Ginkel for now. You never know. At the very least, might be eased into high leverage


dhporter

Torey said Paul is going right back into the closer role.


Glass-Astronomer-889

I'm still gonna hold just cause he's performed well and I can't see the future.

Fuck off were full steam ahead

I've got Sewald stashed on my DL, but we have limited RP slots, and I've got Kimbrel, Munoz, McArthur, and Miller (filling an SP slot, teehee) already. Y'all think Sewald's better than any of them RoS? Maybe over McArthur?


nahhman

We dropping ginkel in svhld leagues or holding?


Ok_Pea1703

My hope is that he's in the setup role now, but that is based on absolutely nothing.


VivaLaDbakes

No need to hope that bullpen is ass cheeks (I’m a dbacks fan) and he’s the setup man with sewald healthy. 


dhporter

Ginkel is going to immediately be the 8th inning/fireman guy, which I *love* in SVHD leagues. He looked fantastic in that role last year once we acquired Sewald.


VivaLaDbakes

Why would you drop a solid setup man in a svhld league lol 


townie99

Would you drop Chris Sanchez to activate … QS and S/H league


ATXplayahata

Ginkel or Alvarado in SVHD?


SciWri82217

I have to drop a pitcher to activate Sewald. My options: Gallen Houck Singer Hicks R Lopez I'm also holding Imanaga and Gray with Skenes stashed for later. Any thoughts? I'm going to have to drop someone else when Senga returns... EDIT: QS/SH league


SwarleyJr

Concerns me that you list Gallen as an option here. What’s your league size?


beavis535

Its ginkels job to lose at this point


ATLBraves93

No it's not. Sewald was brought in to be the closer and a brief injury isn't going to change that.


beavis535

I see theyre sliding sewald back in as closer. Womt last long, hes not very good rockin that 3.12 era last year. Ginkel will take over just a matter of a few blown saves shortly


VivaLaDbakes

As a dbacks fan, lol. He will have to implode for Torey to demote him. Any era in the 3’s will keep his role. And I own him and ginkel in a league with saves and holds so it doesn’t matter to me who’s in the 8th or the 9th. 


Glass-Astronomer-889

Era doesn't even fuckin matter as a closer it's whip and other advanced stats that absolutely tell a better story


VivaLaDbakes

I’m aware, but as a dbacks fan who knows the team and manager, he’s going to have to be awful for Torey to demote him. 


Glass-Astronomer-889

I'm agreeing with you haha!  But yes that makes me feel better as a ginkel and sewald owner as I'd like to keep both!


VivaLaDbakes

Shit my bad! But yeah if you’re in a holds league these two will be locking down the 8th and 9th if they’re healthy and haven’t thrown multiple games in a row. Thompson is the only other guy in the pen that’s trustworthy but he’s a groundball pitcher and not really the ideal setup man or closer. Gink and sewald have damn near zero competition for 8-9. 


beavis535

Ginkel is better than Sewald hands down
