Phillies Closer

Philadelphia Inquirer 08/15/2006 Phillies Notes Gordon's shoulder to be examined: "While Gordon is unavailable, Manuel indicated that lefthander Arthur Rhodes would fulfill the closer duties."

Geez, wasn't Charlie Manuel in the AL when Rhodes failed as the Oakland closer?

FWIW, saying Rhodes will close while Gordon rests signals the injury is nothing to worry about.

"Sometimes you get pigheaded," Gordon said. "It's actually been there for a couple months. I don't think that it's anything to be worried about, but it's good to have a good frame of mind about it."
