Rafael Betancourt

Rafael Betancourt saved his second game since Joe Borowski was sent to the D.L. last week. Whatever kernel of doubt remained from his failure in the role in the summer of 2006 has been eliminated.

Now his fantasy owners need to read through reports about Joe Borowski getting the close role back when he returns. If JoBo looks like he really will return to the closer's role, then Betancourt's owners should seriously consider trying to trade Betancourt for full closer value.

To make this easier will be the flood of baseball commentators who look at the numbers and conclude definitively that the Indians would never give JoBo his job back.
