i agree that we should give Foulke a chance, he has earned that. We have enough good pitchers that even if Foulke sucks and we can't trade for anyone, we will be able to find someone to do a good job, whether that is Hansen, Timlin, Arroyo, whoever.
i don't know if I agree with it or not, but in Moneyball, Bill Beane feels that you can make anyone a closer, and that many teams overpay for "closers". I know the commitee thing didn't work for us a couple years ago, but I think the whole "closer" thing is a little overrated.
