Misty watered colored memories of the way Vasquez was.<br /><br />Wagner? - It's always been a little pet project of mine to look over closers with revisionist history. Examples are Roy Face, Perranoski, Rob Nenn and Henke among others. Wagner kinda keeps the discussion of closers a little watered down in spite of his saves totals. Long live the Fireman.BrooklynTrolleyBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09704760727364587466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977384970015233286.post-69574609372303738922010-04-10T15:53:59.181-04:002010-04-10T15:53:59.181-04:00Don't know if it's a good idea, but Cito G...Don't know if it's a good idea, but Cito Gaston said that when Jason Frasor, the named closer, has a day off (like yesterday), he will see the situation and split the saves amongst Kevin Gregg and Scott Downs. Maybe that's as close as anyone will get to the closer-by-committee evolution for now.<br /><br />On another topic, what do you think of Vernon Wells? Is he going to be able to keep on his performance? Were his four homers in three days only abuse of the Rangers' pitchers?Gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357729971388996665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977384970015233286.post-14812970723311658862010-04-10T11:58:49.584-04:002010-04-10T11:58:49.584-04:00I don't think the issue is that Vasquez can...I don't think the issue is that Vasquez can't handle New York. I think - if his troubles continue - that he can't handle the AL East. He was cruising through the early innings, as you said, then couldn't pitch out of the stretch when he was afraid guys would steal on him. Maybe he needs a shrink.She-Fanhttp://janeheller.mlblogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
