Still, since Betancourt turns 38 in April, one has to wonder if this is the beginning of the descent for the veteran reliever. Perhaps as insurance, the Rockies brought in Wilton Lopez and are still grooming Rex Brothers for the closer role. The job is still Betancourt's to lose and provided there is no skills decline, he still can get the job done though his margin of error is less. In an always transient closer market, Betancourt is best thought of a high-end third-tier option.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Feb 21"},"playerRater30DAY":1.3,"playerRater15DAY":1.4,"positionRank":13}
