Had Botch been given more save chances, he'd have blown more and probably have an even more ridiculous E.R.A. Billy and many of you are very mistaken, when you say he is a dominant closer. He never was, he was good, but that's it. He never had much movement on his fastball even when it was live, he never had a lot of k's. He almost never has easy innings and that joke curveball of his has been his best pitch this year, he is pretty well f***ed. I would still want somebody else closing even if we had the Billy Botch of years past,.
