    ...for the money they'd likely cost, Balfour.

    Robertson may just be a victim of the situation, kind of blows for him and I hope if that happens he stays positive, but they need a big time arm in the pen with Mo gone and that big time arm will probably be a veteran closer, who will not be setting up.

    I think if they bring in Balfour they could use him and Robertson as the closers, alternating between set up and closer until somebody dominates. Before you jump on me, I'm suggesting 2 guys, which is not a closer by committee situation.

    I would like them to sign Balfour and keep Robertson in the 8th inning.
