Corpas and Street is a nice 8th to 9th inning punch for the Rockies and IMO, they have the order right. Corpas is a good pitcher, but Street is better suited for the closer role when healthy.

Street's fantasy value has gone up quite a bit with this announcement.

If Street can stay healthy, he will do just fine. Or if he has a couple bad outings Corpas will become closer for about a week, then Hurdle will get bored and put Street back in.

Expect to see that happen a few times this year.
