Todd Jones

Rodney was "dominant" (relative term -- but certainly not Lidge-like) early when he got the role last year but by the end of the season, every game he pitched in was an adventure. Jim Price was commenting on that just yesterday.

Remember last year was his first year off of TJ surgery, and that alone was quite impressive. It was only natural for him to tire down the stretch and lose his command a little. Seems to have regained it this year. Hopefully Jones can be somewhere near as decent as he was last year and give the bullpen some depth when he returns. Every good bullpen arm helps.
