The prospect I'd like to see tried as a closer is Brad James. Nolan Ryan raved last winter about the "heavy ball" he throws and, if you ask me, I'd value a guy who is hard to take deep as much as I value a guy with a high K rate. You make a team string 2 or 3 hits together to beat you and it is easier to get through an inning unscathed.
