Introducing Jeremy Affeldt, the New Giants Closer

Based on what I just saw from Jeremy Affeldt – stranding a runner at third with nobody out in a key game – I think he should be new Giants closer.  Brian Wilson is too much of a liability.  The guy should be relegated to either the set up role or middle inning relief, and have to earn his way back to the closer role (I do not believe he would ever earn it back).

What else does Affeldt need to do to win the closer job?  Every time I see him he’s showing up big in a big situation.  No gestures, no fanfare – just does his job with nasty stuff.  And a lefty.

I have a lot of issues with Sabean – I think he’s useless, and his track record is shameful.  I generally have no beef with Bochy – but one forceful statement he needs to make tomorrow is to announce that Jeremy Affeldt is the new closer of the San Francisco Giants.
