There is little doubt he has the experience to do the job with 203 career saves, but it has been a couple of years since he has been the primary option. Grant Balfour (the closer at the beginning of the year) and Ryan Cook (21.2 consective scoreless innings) are waiting in the wings if he were to lose his touch.","date":"Tue May 22"},"fullName":"Brian Fuentes","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"If \"closer experience\" wins closer jobs, then Fuentes is a shoo-in for the Athletics' ninth-inning role; his 199 career saves easily pace the team's bullpen. That said, his skills don't necessarily scream out for him to win it, and with the team turning the page toward the distant future, they might as well take a look at one of their younger relievers. Fuentes is highly likely to settle into middle relief at his advanced age, and while his ERA/WHIP numbers from 2011 might appear as if they could help an AL-only team, remember that at his age, a decline could strike at any moment.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":2.7,"playerRater15DAY":2,"positionRank":34}
