Quoted in 'Jorge Says No! :: The Rays Refuse to Pick Up a Closer'

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 06:18:06 GMT

said in Sports Blogs:

Rays vice president of baseball Andrew Friedman said he expects the Rays to break camp next spring with the old closer by committee. His reasoning? The Rays simply can’t afford someone like Billy Wagner, the former Astros, Phillies and Mets closer now serving as the Red Sox set-up man. I think there’s kind of a misnomer out there that we don’t believe in having someone that can lock down a game ... It’s just that when we get into our roster construction and allocating of resources, it’s very difficult for us to allocate a huge amount of money for someone who pitches 70 innings a year.

Billy Wagner said in Philly.com:

is probably the best lefty in baseball right now, as far as stuff ... Santana, nothing against him, but I never saw him throwing in the upper 90s and spotting it, throwing breaking balls and change-ups and spotting it. There is nobody in the two leagues that I've seen that can match Lester's stuff. About the only other guy, and he's a righthander, is Josh Johnson with the Marlins.
