You're right. Only I really hope they don't- a save is such a misleading indicator of a closer's effectiveness. K-Rod is definitely the best free agent closer, but they will drastically overpay him rather than going for middle and late inning relievers, who combined will make less than K-Rod.

Gagne needs his right arm back to be effective. I guarantee he's still on the roids.

Agreed. Most of these games were lost by the middle relief. Fix that before you dump money on a closer.

Besides, something tell me k-rod will fizzle out just like Barry Zito did. I thank Jobu every night that the Mets never signed him.

Fuck you, that man is a god in this city. A GOD.

We're going places, forreal this time. We've got a good manager and a good front office (finally) so we can start making noise.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Royals are the Rays of 2009. The AL Central is decent, but it doesn't have teams that expect to win 90+ games every year like the Rays have to contend with.

As for the list, Joe Beimel is obviously the one I would like to see the most- Damaso Marte and Will Ohman would be OK also. Middle relievers / setup guys seem to be such shots in the dark year to year though- there aren't any Mike Stanton / Jeff Nelson types anymore.

Don't worry, all you have to do is slightly adjust your name and team logo.
