Now that A. Rhodes pitched great does he replace wickman as the closer?

I don't think so, Wickman will still get a few more chances to see if he can succeed. If he does struggle I expect Betancourt(who looked very good today) to take the closer spot over Rhodes ;-D

Rhodes isn't a very good pitcher... I still say Betancourt gets the job if Wickman loses it. Usually control is his strong suit but he got 4 K's in less than 3 IP today. I'd love to see him moved to closer because I have him in a few leagues, but for now I'll be more than happy with the ERA/WHIP/K help he provides. And the odd win here and there given that he's a MR on a team with a few good MR's.

it takes more than one bad outing to lose your job. should he get bumped, i dont think it will be rhodes. could be betancourt. could be howry. could be riske. sort of depends on who looks better at the time.
