2010 Closer Profile: Jonathan Broxton, Los Angeles Dodgers
By Todd Farino, www.thecloserreport.com
Jonathan Broxton has a rough second half last year and because of that a high percentage of owners have lost faith in him. Broxton was my highest rated closer last year, and he is highly rated again. Broxton's issues began shortly after injuring his toe and the logic suspects his toe impacted his pitching. In 2010, Broxton is healthy and ready to become the most dominant closer in baseball.
Remember at 25, Broxton has room to improve and should be better then he already has been. Have confidence in drafting a healthy Jonathan Broxton. He will emerge as one of the most dominating closer in 2010.
