He's not even closing for the Nats anymore (incidentally, I'd trade a prospect arm for John Rauch). You can never have enough good arms, because you never know how many will pan out. It really depends on who's left at 30. If Josh Fields is sitting there, that's an option, too. But I'm totally on board with Russell if he falls. Cordero is terrible.

No need to take on any more young arms early. Cordero FA in 2008 I think. Plus Giambi is deteriorating and so is abreu. We'll see though. We could sign a closer and pick up that bat.

There's a reason they don't throw kids straight from HS or college into the bigs. Russell would have 2-3 years to cut down on his K's. 60 K in 58 games isn’t that bad.

Thats makes sense, although only in the weird baseball sense kind of way. I'm more surprised that Foulke is a Type B. Shouldn't there be a clause that if a player RETIRES before the season even starts, they don't count? Not in baseball sense I guess... Joseph, Thanks!
