Well, the New York Metropolitan's have signed K-Rod, baseballs save leader and record breaker, from the Angels. Mets fans, calm down. Yes, K-Rod is undoubtedly the best closer on the market, and perhaps the American League. However, the Phillies have the best closer in all of baseball. K-Rod had 7 blown saves last year. Lidge had zero. Also, consider this, most of your blown saves last year came in the 7th and 8th innings last season. Unless you expect K-Rod to pitch three innings per outing, he is pretty ineffective. Sure, he'll get his saves, and the Mets will get their wins. The bullpen is still terrible and unless Minuya does something, you will once again be looking up at Phillies in the standings, crying for a third straight September. David Wright jerks tears. Better have your Kleenex ready.
