Meet the New Guy: Doug Brocail

Astros RP Doug Brocail, in to close a one-run game Saturday against the Phillies because Jose Valverde needed night off after taking a line drive to the face, loaded the bases with one out before left fielder Darin Erstad caught a Shane Victorino fly ball and threw out Pedro Feliz attempting to score. “I felt like a 4-year-old child running out to high-five Erstad,” said Brocail, who earned his second save in as many chances. “It’s rejuvenating.” Brocail looks like the fallback option for Valverde, but Houston won’t use him to close games very often. Leave him for deeper NL-only leagues that require the use of true middle men. (CBS Sports)
