Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona has endorsed Cody Allen to be the team's closer to begin he 2017 season; a move that was anticipated all along after Andrew Miller dominated in the important seventh-and-eighth inning into the postseason last year. While Miller is more than capable of being a top five closer on any team, Allen has been terrific himself the last few years in striking out an insane amount of batters and posting ERA's of 2.99 and 2.51 for the Indians. The setup here worked wonders for the Indians last season so there is no reason to make a change. Allen should be drafted as a top ten fantasy baseball closer, while Miller should also be picked given his utter dominance in setup.
