In response to "more like, Papelbon." by groiny

no, i don't think so. i think they are thinking he is for sure gone after this year though, because they won't be the top bidder.

So Jenks and Bard make good competition for the closer role in 2012.

was his stuff decent still last year? I saw his walk rate was way up. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 16:47 17

  - Tell Joba to eat him. -- nm - TFox Dec 16, 17:13 1
    - Me saw him first. RAR! -- nm - CC Sabathia Dec 16, 17:27
- I think he'll be fine, but he had an off year last year. less Ks and more BBs. Kind of seemed he lost a mph or 2 on his fastball -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:52 9
  - actually,he's had the same K numbers the past 3 years. His ERA just jumped -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:55 8
    - yeah, I saw the k's were consistant, the walks were rising - groiny Dec 16, 16:56 7
      - ERA is such a weird stat. He has almost identical numbers the last 2 years. '09 era 1.85 '10 era 3.85 -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:58 4
        
        for my purposes ERA is useless. I need WHIP and slugging against. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 17:00 3
        
        That's a little scary though, with the escalating walk rate and HR rate. -- nm - TFox Dec 16, 17:01 2
        
        HR rate is less a concern than his loss of command. - groiny Dec 16, 17:02 1
        
        the thing is, i wouldn't call it bad control. its nibbling. he's always close, but juuuuust misses. - TFox Dec 16, 17:03
      - also worth noting that he had a great July and August, but collapsed in Sep/Oct along with the rest of the team. - TFox Dec 16, 16:58 1
        
        exactly. and his numbers last year are very similar to Bard's except for ERA -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 16, 16:59
- His walk rate was up some from 09, which was up from 08, but not catastrophically. -- (link) - TFox Dec 16, 16:51 3
  - I have been offered him in a strat o matic keeper league for a great price. - groiny Dec 16, 16:58 1
    - It would seem he's guaranteed saves for at least 2 to 2.5 seasons more. - TFox Dec 16, 17:00
  - thanks to you both. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 16:55
