Last call for Kenley Jansen
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Colleague Al Melchior's interpretation of Dodgers manager Don Mattingly's comments Tuesday about not wanting to anoint a closer? "It's Jansen." That's what he said in between segments on Wednesday's Fantasy Baseball Today -- referring, of course, to Kenley Jansen -- and I can't disagree. If Mattingly is declaring an open competition for the role, which is how I read it, then Jansen shouldn't have much trouble delivering the decisive blow to Brandon League. His meltdowns over the weekend have created some suspense, but in the end, he'll prove to be the more effective reliever. And if his perfor...

Los Angeles Dodgers May 21, 2013Dodgers won't name permanent closer
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Dodgers manager Don Mattingly would not reveal who his closer is to reporters. However, the skipper seems to be leaning toward Kenley Jansen over Brandon League in high-stress situations based on recent use, according to MLB.com."I know who I want to use. But I don't know if I want to anoint anybody," Mattingly said. "I'd really like to see the bullpen get its confidence back and some semblance of order and get the guys in the roles we designed. I know where I want it to go, it just hasn't gone there. They set the roles the way they are pitching. Now it's hard to say, 'That guy deserves that i...
May 21, 2013Brandon League still hasn't lost closer role
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Dodgers relief pitcher Brandon League appears to be safe as the team’s closer for the time being, with fellow reliever Kenley Jansen doing little to surpass League and take his job. As our Nando Di Fino put it during Monday’s broadcast of Fantasy Baseball Today, “one takes a step back, the other one takes two steps back.” Scott White said League has a bit longer of a leash now, but that he’d still rather own Jansen.

May 20, 2013Pointers from teammate help Evan Gattis play hero role
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Braves rookie Evan Gattis hit a go-ahead, two-run homer Saturday against the Dodgers, propelling Atlanta to a 3-1 win.

Gattis said Upton's instruction was to wait on a pitch "starting at you, or it looks like it's starting at you. That's going to be the one that you want." "I remembered (Upton) said something about (Jansen) in the advan...

Post-Game 41 Thread: Lose-Lose
Sons of Steve Garvey — BARVES 3, DODGERS 1 Can't blame this one on Donnie. Chris Capuano was stellar, allowing one earned run over 7.1 innings. In the 8th, Donnie went to Kenley Jansen, who promptly served up back-to-back dingers. And when your offense scores one run a game, ya gonna lose (again). And this just in: Atlanta's still not Miami!
Los Angeles Dodgers May 18, 2013League Still Closer; Jansen Called Upon For Toughest Hitters, However
Sons of Steve Garvey — When it comes to which reliever he trusts with the game on the line, Don Mattingly is splitting hairs: Don Mattingly has adjusted his late-inning bullpen use recently by deploying Kenley Jansen to face the hitters posing the greatest threat, no matter the inning. "I don't like a committee of guys, that's always unsettling, like every day is a tryout, and that's not the environment I want for my pitchers," said Mattingly. "I want them to know I'm confident in them and trust them. It's not like you give up a run and you're out. "But the way it's been going is the best way to do it. Kenley get...
Los Angeles Dodgers May 18, 2013Don't wait to pick up Kenley Jansen
CBSSports.com Fantasy — Between Brandon League's struggles and Kenley Jansen's successful conversion of a save opportunity Tuesday, the Dodgers officially have a closer controversy. With manager Don Mattingly's decision to use Jansen even though League was available, Fantasy owners have more reason to doubt the skipper's commitment to keeping League in the ninth-inning role. When League appeared to be uncontested as the closer, Fantasy owners were taking a risk in rostering Jansen, even though he has a decidedly better statistical profile for the job. Now that there is even a sliver of doubt around League's status, i...

Jansen said he'...
