This is terrible news for the Giants and for my fantasy team, so glad I drafted Wilson and Lincecum.
I'd assume Casilla would get the nod as the closer. Romo throws sliders, and when they hang they get hammered. Plus, I'm not sure Romo can handle the pressure of the closer roll, he was terrible in the post season under pressure. Lopez could close, but the Giants need him as a lefty specialist and Affeldt has closed with the Royals in the past but he is up and down in his performance. Hembree won't get called up any time soon, he's only at single A right now, no way he performs well against MLB hitters in the 9th inning.
Hembree is in AAA right now. 3 IP's so far, 2 saves, 0.00 ERA 4 SO's. I think we'll see him pretty soon. Until then, Casilla is their best closer.
