As good as the Red Sox have been so far. I can't imagine them getting to the World Series with Andrew Bailey as their closer. Rumors are that they are going to work out a deal for a pitcher before the trade deadline, but who could they possibly get as a closer?
That's 3 blown saves out of 11 opportunities. ERA-2.64, Opponents Batting Average 2.11
Good numbers for a starting pitcher but not even close for a closer.
What ever made them think this guy was the answer. We'd be better off with Aceves or Scott Atchinson.
