Fantasy Baseball Closer Hot Seat

Who says ego has to be a bad thing? Chris Perez had a Freudian discussion with himself after his disastrous July 7 outing and is now in the midst of a 15 1/3-inning scoreless streak. The Cleveland Indians reliever has fanned 19 and walked only four in that time. He has appeared in three ninth-inning situations (no save chances) since joining Cleveland. It looks as if he's next in line to Kerry Wood. Perez's four-seamer has been effective when running inside against righties and away from left-handed bats. Maybe he could give sessions to depressed fantasy owners who have drafted him in the last two seasons.
