I like Ryan...He's been kick'n up some dust lately.

I like Lidge for F-rod(ana) in the long run.

1. Lidge (only Gagne had a higher K/9 last year, and outside shot he takes over as closer if Dotel keeps struggling)
2. K-Rod (lights out, could take over as closer if Percival's hip acts up again or the Angels fall out of contention and deal Percival)
3. Mota (very good reliever but no chance he closes)
4. Ryan (worst of the three pitchers, but probably most likely to take over as closer, because Julio is average at best)
