After the Rauch trade, Hanrahan has been named the closer for the Nationals. As I have started to say many times, at this point of the year Saves are Saves. His numbers across the board aren’t really great but they don’t have anyone else out there. You need to try and get him today before everyone else can put in a claim or his price skyrockets like Marte. He does strike out a ton of people so he will be able to help you in more than one category.

You want to talk about being lucky. His FIP-ERA is a whopping 1.258. HIS BABIP is extremely low and he’s inefficient in his pitches. After carrying a perfect game into the 7th last night you might be able to get a lot in return. Lastly his control is good but not nearly good enough to keep him at this level.
