Armando Benitez

ContraCostaTimes.com | 03/27/2007 | 'Not a joke': Benitez likely to close: "Benitez completed his stunning spring transformation, stranding three inherited runners in the eighth inning and then pitching a perfect ninth to save the Giants' 3-2 exhibition victory over the Chicago White Sox.
'He's a true closer,' catcher Bengie Molina said. 'He's not a joke"


The Brian Wilson Era is delayed.

What is your opinion of Brian Wilson? Just in case Benitez doesn't stick around long.....

Is Wilson good enough to keep the closer job a while or not? Who would be next in line?

Wilson has been desginated the closer in waiting by Brian Sabean. I think Wilson walks way too many batters and doesn't strikeout enough of them to keep the job.

Today's 5 run 1/3 of an inning doesn't help change my mind.
