Week Seventeen Recap (11-6): So then it's definitely going to be the bullpen.

ATLANTIC CITY SHARKS   486
VERACRUZ POSSE                341


Lineup moves:  Off day Waiver Wire starters put a nice little +10 to go along with the regulars popping off for 227.  Delino Deshields, who has the look of a possible fill-in starter, put up 9 points in 3 starts.

Pitching Moves:  Added Ken Giles, Alex Wilson and Roberto Osuna to bullpen.  Initial results were fantastic as bullpen posted 17 saves.  King Felix and Aaron Nola were solid with 41 points, however, had another off week picking starters and overall the staff posted a solid 249 points, going 5-8.

Conclusions:  Giles and Osuna are going to be top 5 closers.  In addition to Rosenthal, Familia, and Jansen, I may have acquired the best five closers in the game.  Carson Smith seems to have rebounded although if someone offers a trade... and Alex Wilson doesn't really pass the eye test, so the bullpen will still need monitoring as the season winds down.
