Joe Nathan

this is one of those situations where i would stay away from anyone competing for the job. despite success stories like tim worrell and joe borowski or even the guy from montreal (his name is escaping me) who managed to pick up a significant amount of saves last season it is still so risky to count on one of these closers that could easily hurt you more than help. nathan seems really good but he just left the best pitchers park in baseball to play in the pinball machine that is the metrodome. its also very difficult to find any pitchers let alone rp's that have success going from the national league tot he american where there is a dh. i don't like whoever ends up closing for minnesota this season, even if they do get the job. unless its one of the last 3 or 4 rounds of the draft i don't waste a pick on nathan or romero or any of them.
