I am a little worried with Todd Jones as the closer. I remember him when he played with the Astros and he sucked.

Examiner · Oct 8, 2003

Things that I have read of late would have Williamson assuming the role.

Great stuff thanks!

williamson/timlin or Embree could close games. Jones will be someone to set up one of these guys. He is just an added arm. I think he on't pitch when they are winning.

Lets hope Jones is not put in when they are leading.

HE WILL NOT ONLY BE PUT IN BUT PUT IN TO LOSE ONE OR TWO OR THREE OR FOUR GAMES TO 1 YANKEES.....

question I am Homer on this but no way Jones will be in 2-3-4 games to lose to the yanks. Timlin, Williamson, Embree, and if available Lowe or wakefield will close before him. ONly way he will have a chance to lose games is if everyone else is already used. It sounds like you love the yanks, so I wouldn't pound the Sox here. Nelson, Osuna, Weaver, Jose C. don't scare anyone either to set up Mo and Boston has always hit Mo. Yanks have the better pen, but not by much.
