Where's 5-0 Sat or Jordan?
I'm right here. The Mets can have him, and I speak for all Angels fans in saying don't let the door hit you on the way out. K-Rod is an average closer at best, meaning, Met's fans youll understand this soon, you'll literally have to sweat everytime he takes the mound. 1-2 walks per save attempt is the norm. I think he will choke under the pressure of New York. He will hear the boo birds once he blows a save or two and his emotions will be his downfall.
Like Texas Tech the Angels run a brilliant "system", i don't care who you put in that position of closure he will get 45 + saves. Starters go 7 or 8 on an almost nightly basis. Don't think the Angels have had a complete game in about a decade. Mike Scioscia trusts his bullpen much more than other managers. You put Arredondo or even Shields in their for 2009, I'll even bet we will see an improvement.
Bottomline, K-Rod is severely overrated. Let's face it, the Angels aren't the Florida Marlins, we've got $$$, if we thought the single season saves leader of all time wasn't replaceable we would've signed him in a new york minute. lol.
