Suggesting Matt Albers to close for the Milwaukee Brewers is not an idea that anyone would have had last year, and it’s probably not an idea the team should entertain in 2019, either.
Albers missed most of 2018 with shoulder and hamstring injuries. He was also ineffective on the mound as he posted a 7.34 ERA in 34 appearances in the Majors.
Josh Hader is one of the best relievers in the game, but he’s blown two of his last three save chances, and he’s allowed runs in each of his last three appearances.
