Latest News
| Joaquin Benoit needs two pitches for save |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(4/29/13) Tigers reliever Joaquin Benoit, who will get save chances when Jose Valverde is unavailable like he was Monday, recorded a save against the Twins. Benoit only needed two pitches to do the job.
Benoit entered in a 4-3 game after Drew Smyly got the first two outs in the ninth. He induced a grounder to end it for his second save of the year. His ERA is 2.31.

| Joaquin Benoit is Tigers' backup closer |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4/29/13) After pitching on consecutive days over the weekend, Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he would not turn to reliever Jose Valverde to close out Monday's game against the Twins. If a save opportunity arose, Leyland said Joaquin Benoit will be called on to close out the game.
Benoit converted his only save opporunity before Valverde was promoted from the minors to be the team's closer. Benoit has a 2.38 ERA and 13 strikeouts through 11 1/3 innings.

| You should drop Joaquin Benoit for Bruce Rondon |
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer
(4/23/13) With Bruce Rondon getting called up, the Tigers' closer situation looks like it can go two different ways right now, and neither ends with Joaquin Benoit getting saves.
Either Rondon -- who saved three games and struck out nine in 7 2/3 scoreless minor league innings with Toledo -- gets a couple chances, converts them, and runs away with the job (thus fulfilling the Dombrowski Prophecy of 2012), or Rondon's control issues pop up and Jose Valverde slides in as the closer, as he is currently inching his way back up to the majors.
Benoit, at best, becomes the backup (maybe Valverde is released if Rondon proves capable, or Rondon is sent down after showing control problems), and at worst becomes the third option. But I doubt the Tigers are grooming Valverde and giving Rondon another shot just to slot them both in middle relief so Benoit can close games. Rondon may not end up being the closer, but he has a much better long-term shot at it than Benoit.

| Tigers' bullpen racks up 11 Ks in loss |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4/22/13) Tigers pitchers combined for 16 strikeouts in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Angels, with 11 coming from relievers Al Alburquerque, Joaquin Benoit and Phil Coke. It's the most strikeouts for the Tigers' bullpen since it had 13 in an extra-inning game in Cleveland two years ago, according to the Detroit Free Press.

| Joaquin Benoit notches first save |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(4/18/13) Tigers reliever Joaquin Benoit notched his first save of the season Wednesday.
Though the game went 14 innings, manager Jim Leyland did not use Benoit until there was a save situation. It was a shaky appearance, as Benoit gave up two hits, and needed Justin Smoak to be thrown out at the plate earn the save. He's the favorite to receive the majority of the saves for Detroit going forward.

| For years, Joaquin Benoit seemed to have the tools to be a good Fantasy reliever, but his performance rarely matched the potential. That changed in 2010, when he became a premier setup man with the Rays, posting a 1.34 ERA and 0.68 WHIP to go along with 75 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings. After a solid 2011 season, Benoit took a step backward in 2012. Though he was very good at avoiding contact, 14 of the 59 base hits Benoit allowed were home runs, and they contributed to a lackluster 3.68 ERA. Still, Benoit collected 30 holds, and as the Tigers' primary setup man he should excel in that category again in 2013. Look for Benoit to rebound this season and be one of the most productive setup relievers in Fantasy. (Updated 1/4/13) |
