Not a shocker, but the Phillies placed Brad Lidge on the DL again with a bum elbow.  In his place Jose Contreras is now the closer for the Phillies and not Danys Baez, who everyone expected. 

Contreras has good enough stuff to close, but the 38-year old pitcher (yea, sure and I'm 22) might have problems staying healthy and coming out constantly and being effective.  It will be fun to see.

Listen to Todd "The True Guru" Farino breakdown all the closer activity three times a week on Blog Talk Radio. Every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 11pm PST. www.blogtalkradio.com/the-closer-report or download the podcast on ITunes!
