Jorge Sosa

After failing to build/maintain/only slightly regress from his 2005 season, Jorge Sosa has been moved to the bullpen to pitch in what is the latest baseball euphemism - "late inning specialist".

I spent several minute searching through last year's posts following the Dan Kolb closing failures to find this quote:

...The deep sleeper is Jorge Sosa. He was a failed starter in TB, but he had a very good strikeout rate of 9.0 per 9 innings. "Failed starter" and "good strikeout rate" are the key markers to potential closers.

I do not see him getting it first but do see him getting the opportunity in 2006.
