Its okay. Fluke Lee can win his Cy Young this year. K-Rod will just have to break the saves record again.

platoon pitcher at best

Cliff Lee is an absolutely dominant pitcher on an otherwise generally woeful pitching staff. K-Rod is a fairly good closer who happened to be on a team with a good pitching staff and a mediocre offense, which presented an abnormally high amount of save opportunities. If you think that Francisco Rodriguez should have won the AL Cy Young, you're wrong.

Sorry, bro.

K-Rod
2.38 ERA, 1.27 WHIP


2.11 ERA, 0.92 WHIP - Jonathan Papelbon
1.68 ERA, 0.84 WHIP - Joakim Soria
1.47 ERA, 0.96 WHIP - Joe Nathan
0.50 ERA, 1.04 WHIP - He hasn't been closing all season, but Brad Ziegler's given up THREE EARNED RUNS in 54 IP.
1.58 ERA, 0.92 WHIP - No more than a part-time closer, but Grant Balfour's had a hell of a rebounding year...
2.36 ERA, 1.17 WHIP - ...As has teammate J.P. Howell. Bear in mind that these numbers are over 84 IP.
1.78 ERA, 1.15 WHIP - Attentionless Scott Downs of the Blue Jays. 70.2 IP for him.
1.33 ERA, 1.02 WHIP - K-Rod's arguably not even the best reliever on his own team: where's the love for Jose Arredondo?

And oh yeah, Rivera has a .69 WHIP.

Even if K-Rod goes to the Yankees this offseason, the Angels are gonna just use Arredondo as a closer. Note that not all these are closer stats, but they all have decent IP.

LOL. This must be the same troll that was trolling about K Rod back before WS time.

Fluke Lee is fluke, but fuck K-Rod and all closers who think being able to get three outs with a lead is something awesome or even worthy of its own statistic. Saves are hogshit.
