FACTS/FLUKES: Hand, Semien, Porcello, A. Diaz, and M. Gonzales

Hand carries elite skills to AL... After saving 24 games for the San Diego Padres, Brad Hand (LHP, CLE) has added five saves as a member of the Cleveland bullpen. With a 2.56 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 84 strikeouts in 60 IP, he has helped with ratios in 2018. At the end of the season, Cody Allen and Andrew Miller will be free agents. With a chance at the 2019 CLE closer role, how do Hand's skills stack up?
