The pine tar incident

... passed away this week. Holtzman covered the game for more than 40 years, wrote six books on the game, and became baseball's official historian after retiring in 1998. But he is perhaps most well known for creating the "save" rule, which has changed the game for both good and bad. A lot of people think saves are the most over-rated statistic in baseball, and they have an argument. Just look at Cleveland closer Joe Borowski's 2007 season. CC Sabathia pitched his third straight complete game yesterday for the Brewers, a 3-0 blanking of the Cardinals. I know CC is a horse, but ...

... Sell – Joe Borowski, CL - CLE For the first time in the history of baseball, a pitcher led the league in saves while posting an ERA over 5.00. Joe Borowski walked a thin line of magic for the Indians last season. He was borderline Houdini. The fact that he led the league in saves was partly due to the fact that the Indians presented him the ...

About That Bullpen

... as glaring weak spots for the Tribe: corner outfield power and the closer role. Corner outfield is tricky. After failing to acquire guys like Miguel Cabrera (who will eventually be an outfielder) and Jason Bay, the Indians had to settle on Franklin Gutierrez (who looked much more confident at the plate on Monday) and a platoon of Jason Michaels and David Dellucci. Not exactly the kind of OFs who strike fear into pitchers. The bigger weakness, however, is believed to be veteran closer Joe Borowski . It’s not hard to see why. Just looking at his numbers last season, you might be ...

... Joe: The Indians have a lot of great arms in the bullpen, but the guy who gets me is Borowski. The guy's gutsy and likable and if you take away his three or four blowup games every year, he's pretty effective. BUT ... you're just tempting fate with this guy as your closer, right?

Ex-Cub Hawkins Finds A Home

... . Hawkins, you’ll recall, was one of baseball’s premier set-up men when the Cubs signed the former Twin as a free agent in December of ’03. When Joe Borowski went down with a shoulder injury the next June, however, Hawkins became the Cubs closer. He saved 22 of 23 games during the ’04 season in which he had more than a one-run lead to work with, but in the one-run games, he converted just 3 of 11 save chances. Hawkins was slated to return to the more comfortable role of set-up guy in ’05. But when Borowski was re-injured that spring, Hawkins again was pressed into closing ...

Cleveland Picks Up Its Pitchers
Published 11/7/2007 by JC at Sabernomics
Yesterday, the Cleveland Indians picked up one-year options on three of their pitchers: Paul Byrd, Joe Borowski, and Aaron Fultz. Here is a list of their option prices and my estimates of their 2007 performances. Pitcher Option 2007 Value Paul Byrd $7.5 million $8.9 million Joe Borowski $4.0 million $3.4 million Aaron Fultz $1.5 million $2.0 million It is no surprise that the Indians picked them up. Will the HGH issues be a problem with Byrd? I doubt there is much risk since anything he did—no matter what is true ...

Expect the ALCS matchup to play out the same way with the Red Sox' bats prevailing. Prediction: Red Sox in 7 games. Bold prediction: Joe Borowski saves 3 games and blows 4 others.
