Anyone think Todd Jones is the worst closer in baseball?

Enfuego · Jun 28, 2008

I can't stand watching him come into a game. I can see my money going down the drain as he walks from the bullpen.

bertex · Jun 29, 2008

I thought it .....hmmmm wat 4-5 yrs ago when he played for the Astros. cant believe this lug is still drawing a ck.

Biggamer3 · Jun 29, 2008

writes a good column for Sporting News magazine each week though, might have to rename the column though, as its called "The Closer", how about the "Setup Guy"?

Kingofhearts · Jun 29, 2008

There is not a good reason of why he should not be tortured and beaten while giving his pay up.

I beleive in Uday Hussein form of justice with guys like this

mgk222 · Jun 29, 2008

Come on now.Yea he sometimes makes it interesting,but you don't bring him in with a 4 run lead,He just makes it interesting.
The guy was 14-14 in SO with a 3-0 record.The bottom line is do you want some fancy name,Lidge:drink:,Isringhausen

hno:, or a guy who saves the game when it's on the line..
2006 37 saves
2007 38 saves
2008 14-15 so far.

Hey,we all cant have a Mariano Rivera.

Oh by the way..The Tigers are now 500...It's been a long battle,but look out for the Tigers for the rest of the season... :dancefool

I had the Tigers about 2 weeks ago in Seattle for a bunch of money and they had a 4-run cushion in extra innings and he almost blew that one as well.

The guy has no velocity, no movement and scares noboby. He's old and it's time to retire.

Kingofhearts · Jun 29, 2008

Don't look now but that jackass may have another chance to blow a save. Tigers are up 1 heading into the 8th ( I have the Tigers)

michael777 · Jun 29, 2008

4-3 detroit,top of the 9th coming up,along comes jones

Kingofhearts · Jun 29, 2008

Yep ,he is in.

Shouldn't be in from all of the torturing he should have received which should last between 4-7 days

mgk222 · Jun 29, 2008

YEA.15-16 saves.1-2-3- ninth.Yea Tigers above 500 now.Yea Todd Jones :dancefool

:toast:..Lots of jealous folks around here who wish there team had someone to save late inning games..

Guys get excited to seem, great opportunity to end the 0fer for the day, good chance to drive in a run or 2 with TJ on the hill.

JohnnyMac · Jun 29, 2008

Jones has great control on everything he throws and good movement on his cutter. He gets the job done. You can't argue with results.

OTK · Jun 29, 2008

Jones is probably the worst closer in the game. I know there is nobody I trust less in the 9th inning with my money on the line.

FairWarning · Jun 29, 2008

He is not the worst, but when he goes bad, it is downright ugly. This year he has no set-up help at all.

AllenRocks · Jun 29, 2008

I don't know Eric Gagne fucked me pretty hard 3 or 4 times this year.

Gator627 · Jun 29, 2008

Joe Borowski...anyone?
