Mark Prior and Kerry Wood that was YEARS ago. He has done a great job of holding pitchers back and making sure they dont have the problems those guys had… Oh Steve Bartman told me he wanted his season tickets back.

Arredondo: 3 seasons / 0 saves
Bray: 5 Seasons / 3 saves
Chapman: 2 seasons / 1 save
LeCure: 2 seasons / 0 saves
Masset: 4 seasons / 4 saves
Ondrusek: 2 seasons / 0 saves
Simon: 4 seasons / 17 saves (just picked him up off of the wire today, dosen’t even have his own number yet)
Smith: 2 seasons / 0 saves

Assuming the numbers are correct…it is really kind of astonishing.
I mean…for all of Metalheads…kick the dirt…woe is me…Dusty this and Dusty that posts…he is dead on. Make no mistake…Dusty has always been widely known as someone who wreaks havoc on a pitching staff but wow. I am going to look for the dudes post and re-post if I can find it.

He is not a proven closer and should not have received the job.
