Balfour seems to be the way of the future.

Fuentes is past his usefulness because of declinging talent, not because of some random game in 2009.

More interesting is the performance enhancement in Fuentes’ contract that adds $100K for each 30, 40, 45, 50 games he finishes (more over 55)

He lost the that big game in the alcs. I hope he is there closer because the angels will rock him
