Kim isn't in there? Also, it'd be interesting and beneficial to know not only which are the best, but which will probably end up with the most save opportunities.
Predicting save opportunities is really a crapshoot. Usually you want closers on good teams, since they win more games, but if they aren't winning close games, there won't be the save opps. In addition, some closers on terrible teams rake in huge save totals (ie Mike Williams and his 48 saves with the Pirates last year.). So, the best strategy in general is just to go with the best overall closers. Top notch closers always seem to get save totals exceeding 35 if they are healthy all year.
Interesting, I'd have thought that most would rank Kim over Guardado. Then again maybe it's Guardado's recent lack of saves and bad week he had a few weeks ago.
1. Foulke 2. Rivera 3. Percival 4. Kim 5. Guardado
I agree.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
I'd rather have Kim. Guardado is not as much of a strikeout pitcher than Kim has been in the past as a closer, and Boston is clearly a better team than the Twins and will win more games.
