Rank these closers

[snichols84]

Heilman, Wuertz, Lyon, Takahashi, Hanrahan

A brief explanation of your rationale would be awesome.

Wuertz and Kuo look to be just temporary fill-ins, so I guess I would put them at the bottom. For the other three I'm thinking...
1. Lyon - Closer experience, his job to keep if he pitches well.
2. Heilman - Seems to be his job to lose, but hardly a lights-out closer, could blow up at any time.
3. Takahashi - Appears to be Manuel's first option, but might be part of a committee.

And is there anyone else I'm forgetting in terms of "new or potential closers who may still available"? Thanks in advacnce.

agreed with the above poster, its between those 3--be a lot easier to rank them in about a week when houston and the mets have a clearer bullpen situation. i like takahashi or lyon best if either of them emerge as a clear closer, although neither is dominant...id speculate on lyon first, but if you can wait a few days you might have a better idea of who's really going to get saves.
