More Help Needed: 2013 & 2014 Closer Roles

On Wednesday, I asked for help to verify historic preseason closer situations and how those roless held up. Today, I will task your memory and ask for help with two more seasons. After getting these two seasons straightened out, I’ll call it quits on the collection process and begin the analysis next week.

Please look over your favorite team and make sure the information is correct. Additionally, look over the situation with question marks as the information I gathered was vague. Finally, here is the meanings of each column.

• One guy – The team announced the closer at the start of spring training.
• Another guy – Someone besides the initially announced closer got the job.
• Competition – The team didn’t announce a set closer and had several players vying for the job.
• Replacement coming – The team’s expected closer was hurt or suspended but was expected to take the job over later.
• Replaced returned – Expected closer returned to the role after being out.
• EOS – End of season
• Traded away – The team traded away the closer
• Traded for – The team trade for a new closer
• Poor performance – The pitcher performed so bad they lost their role.
• Injury – Lost role because of injury
• Suspension – Closer lost role because of suspension

 

 

Thanks again and with the data checked, the analysis can begin.

Thanks to Jared Cross for the historic Steamer projections and RotoWire for the player updates.
