Team	Closer	Stability	Health	Other Candidates	Updated
ANA	Francisco Rodriguez	Very High	Good	Scot Shields, Jose Arredondo, Justin Speier	8/4
Notes:	8/4: Nothing new here as K-Rod marches towards 60 saves and Bobby Thigpen's all-time record. He's also headed towards free agency in the offseason. 6/15: Mid-season update: It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for the Angels bullpen this year. Closer Frankie Rodriguez currently leads the majors with 27 saves (no one else has more than 22) after struggling earlier in the year with a bout of diminished velocity due to injuries to both ankles. We figured a DL stint was in the offing, but Rodriguez persevered and while the velocity isn’t back to where it’s been in the past, he’s still had success. Rodriguez’s peripherals are a bit scary – 8.1 K/9 (12.0 career entering the year), 5.4 BB/9, and a .228 BABIP. Beware a second half drop-off. Should Rodriguez falter or get hurt, Scot Shields has turned things around and is still the eighth inning guy. A pitcher to watch for the future: Jose Arredondo, a hard-throwing rookie who’s allowed just one run with a 9:0 K:BB in 13 innings. Justin Speier continues to work in middle relief.
