B.J Ryan v. Jorge Julio..

with the signing of Julio... do we now have to downgrade Ryan a bit (for those of us drafting other leagues now)

Or is it pretty safe to assume that the O's want Ryan closing the door rather than Jorge?

kind of up in the air, word is why would they go to arbitration and Julio get 2.5m to be a setup man. He would be the highest paid in the business. Word is it is an open competition going into spring training

Not a chance BJ doesn't start as the closer. I think Julio will get moved, and I know they signed Steve Kline to take over Ryan's old job. They didn't sign him for 2 years so they could have the 2 best left handed setup men in baseball.
