Reading an article ranking 30 closers in the ML, Franklin is ranked 29? He has 0 era and a great whip, 7 for 7 this season. They list his current season numbers and career. Obviously his career has not been as a closer, but taking in his career numbers into account there is no reason for being 29 especially looking at those close ahead. Lindstrom for the Marlins has abysmal numbers. Even when you get into the much higher rated persons like Heath Bell, his current season numbers are great but career bad, why is Bell ranked 10th and Franklin 29th? I can understand career closers with excellent career numbers being hire ranked, Papelbon, Mariano Rivera, but Broxton for LAD and Bell, have bad/small career numbers but an as good to not as good season as Franklin yet they are 9th and 10th? What's the deal can anyone help explain this ranking or is it just bias. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/cliff_corcoran/04/29/closer.rankings/index.html
