And as for the 8 guys that were named who are "elite" closers. Fuentes and Wilson have 3 blown saves. Lidge has 6. Mike Gonzalez has 3. Nathan, Jenks, Broxton, and K-Rod have 2.
Gregg has 3. He is fine. Get off his back.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I think Rich Harden could be nasty throwing only one inning. He could go back to throwing his slider again. I doubt he'd be willing to move during his contract year, but I like the idea. I don't think you even have to sign Pedro to make it happen. We have enough options in the rotation to make it work.
