Fantasy Baseball Bullpen Report: Louis Varland, Tanner Scott become two of the top closer targets

Meanwhile, the Angels and Rangers situations become messier
You're probably wanting me to comment on the Angels here.

After all, they just cut loose Jordan Romano , who appeared to be locked in as their closer just two short weeks ago.

Well, I refuse to comment on the grounds that I have no more of a clue than you do.

We got a glimpse into what life after Romano might look like for the Angels bullpen Sunday.

Five relievers were needed in a game that ultimately went to extra innings.

All except Ryan Zeferjahn allowed at least one earned run.

So does that make him closer by default?

Hardly.

What about Drew Pomeranz ?

He's been nearly as bad as Romano.

Chase Silseth ?

He's allowed a combined 17 baserunners in 10 1/3 innings.

Sam Bachman ?

He might be the most talented of the group, but is generally tasked with multiple innings.

Even Kirby Yates , who looked to be the front-runner this spring before landing on the IL with knee inflammation, doesn't seem like a viable option.

He's getting crushed at Triple-A with a splitter that's not splitting and a fastball that's down 3 mph.

My general advice right now would be to stay away, which is why I'm not counting the Angels bullpen as one of the 10 generating the most interest in Fantasy Baseball right now.

It actually is, but these other 10 would be a better use of your mental energy.

The Cubs are surely counting down the days until Daniel Palencia returns from a lat strain, which may be soon enough that they don't have to settle on another closer.

Caleb Thielbar , who had been filling in, was lost to a hamstring strain over the weekend.

The Cubs were already without Phil Maton and Hunter Harvey , their intended setup men at the start of the year, and are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

The Mets ' miserable start has given them few opportunities to test their commitment to Devin Williams , but at least vocally, they remain supportive, with pitching coach Justin Willard saying the right-hander is a few "minor tweaks" away from regaining his form.

By the looks of it, Williams' "Airbender" changeup has lost much of its bend -- six inches, to be exact -- which has taken it from a weapon to a liability.

I wouldn't doubt that the right tweak could fix it, but I question how likely he is to discover that tweak or how likely the Mets are to stick with him in the meantime.

He struck out two over a perfect inning in his latest outing Sunday against the Rockies , so perhaps it's already begun to click for him.
