"Give me the RIGHTY or the LEFTY"...NL SAVE Leaders through June 14, 2013...the BUCCOS have their GRILL Man #CallToThePEN

It is no coincidence that the Top Three Teams in the NL Central playing above .600 ball have dynamic closers when they call to the Pen. A dependable righty or lefty out of there will keep you starting rotation, line-up, coaches, and Skip on the good side of the fence. As we head to the end of June and into the Mid Summers Classic here is the Top Six Closers on the Senior Circuit:

Top 6 Calls to the Pen through June 14, 2013:
Note: Saves/Save Opportunities...ERA in parenthesis and W-L Record

1. GRILLI #Buccos 24/24 (0.91) 0-1

2. MUJICA #Redbirds 19/19 (1.82) 0-0

3. KIMBREL #Braves 18/21 (1.85) 1-1

4. CHAPMAN #RedLegs 17/19 (2.10) 3-2

4. SORIANO #NATitude 17/20 (2.67) 1-1

6. ROMO #Gigantes 16/18 (2.52) 3-2

Grilli (pictured above right) has been money in the bank for the Pirates and is fast becoming the premier Closers in the National League. 24/24 Saves is no fluke in the Bigs and the Upstart Pirates are for real.

Mujica has given the Cards all they wanted in more especially when they lost Close Jason Motte top Tommy John earlier in the season.

Kimbrel went through a little funk out the gate but he is the back bone of arguably the nastiest PEN in the Show as all three have gone down to injury in O'Flaherty, Walden, and Venters.

the "Cuban Rocket" will make it interesting from time to time but a lefty that tall throwing that hard is very menacing to say the least.

Soriano was the big pick-up from the Bronx Bombers in the off season and he has paid big dividends as surprising enough it's the Starting Pitching that has spelled gloom and doom for the Nats.

Romo is a huge reason the Gigantes went with him instead of former Giants Closer Brian Wilson....

Note: Braves and Redbirds lead their respective divisions...Gigantes, Reds, and Nats are in 2nd place in their Divisions with the Bucco in a close 3rd behind the Redbirds and Reds.
