FBC Community Top 25 RP - Vote #3: Francisco Rodriguez

[RedSoxNation04]

I went with Rivera here...Lidge turned in a nice year in '08 but 35 walks in 69 innings? Not what I want from my closer. Rivera only had 6 walks in 70 innings for a 0.8 BB/9. Papelbon was next at 1.0/9. Yes Rivera is getting old(er) and yes he is an injuy risk, but I still take him ahead of Lidge and K-Rod and in a draft.

I'd take Soria over the others on this list.

K-Rod's slim lead is going to stick, though I'd rather it didn't, so we can move along. With almost 70 votes, he has maintained a steady lead the whole time, so I don't think 5-10 more would change it

That's unfortunate, but moving on...
