Fantasy baseball closer stock watch: Time to trade Craig Kimbrel?

What a month it has been for Craig Kimbrel and the rest of the Chicago Cubs bullpen! AP

Fantasy baseball managers and everyone else outside of the Windy City may not have noticed, but the Chicago Cubs bullpen recently set a franchise record with 38 1/3 scoreless innings. Look at Monday's box scores and see the myriad runs permitted by relief pitchers and think about just how meaningful Chicago's streak truly is -- nary a run by an entire crew of pitchers over more than two weeks of baseball! Most people focus on the closer since they cannot name the setup men, but this Cubs group is a lot more than future Hall of Famer Craig Kimbrel.
