Fantasy Analysis
Unfortunately for the 68 percent of Fantasy leagues where he is owned, it doesn't look like Rauch will do the closing for the D-Backs. He's just an NL-only middle reliever for now. That doesn't mean things won't change in the future, so keep an eye on the situation. (Updated 07/24/2008).
