Earlier today, I posted a link to Fangraphs analysis of Who WilL Close In Minnesota. Here is Baseball Prospectus' version.
Baseball Prospectus | Fantasy Beat: Replacing Nathan:
"If Nathan does opt for the surgery, the Twins will have plenty of candidates vying for the closer role. Of the in-house relievers, Jon Rauch has the most experience as a saves guy, but in this case that’s not saying much. He briefly closed in Washington when Chad Cordero went down with an injury (17 saves in 22 chances for the Nationals in 2008) before he was traded to the Diamondbacks. During his time in the closer role in Washington he threw 48 innings, allowed just seven walks and 44 strikeouts while limiting opponents to a .232 batting average. In his career, he’s picked up a grand total of 26 saves. (Nathan saved his 26th game in mid July last year.)"
