In my latest poll, I asked "Who do you want for next year's closer?"
Here are the results...
Francisco Rodriguez -- 41%
Brian Fuentes -- 27%
Kerry Wood -- 13%
Other -- 11%
Bobby Jenks -- 4%
It was obvious that Rodriguez and Fuentes would top the list, but I am surprised how many more votes K-Rod garnered.
Also, Wood was not offered arbitration by the Chicago Cubs, meaning they will not receive draft picks when he signs elsewhere. Don't get that move. Seems like they're putting a lot of stock in Jeff Samardzija and Kevin Gregg.
Personally, I'd take any of them, as long as it doesn't cost too much. The Mets have too many other holes to fill to break the bank on the closer, even though they need one so desperately.
Next Poll: Who will be the breakout star in '09?
