Chance of losing job scale is 1-5 with 1 being almost impossible, to 5 being just keeping the seat warm. AL East Boston Red Sox'Jonathan Papelbon 'One of the top closers in baseball, seems to have gotten past his arm issues of previous years. Strikes out batters at a crazy rate. Chance of

His talent and poise are remarkable, and are reasons why K-rod is prime to be the number one fantasy closer in 2008.1. Francisco Rodriguez'LAA 'K-Rod' has been blowing hitters away since he came into the league, and last year was no exception. He has had 40+ saves for the last three

Somehow. Someway. The New York Mets beat the Chicago Cubs, and Opening Day is still 57 days away. This week, the Mets made themselves (arguably) the best team in the National League by acquiring left-handed starting pitcher Johan Santana in exchange for four minor league prospects. Santana, a

Alex Rodriguez four seasons in New York weren't self-assurance, because he was despiteful by many. Not being able to flourish in the playoffs, and being pulverize by the media, instigation his conundrum with the Yankees. Rodriguez wasn't commodious, and he felt pressure with the Yankees. Yankees
