BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2011-03-17 13:00:00	Who do you think the first closer to lose his job will be? (mef from Brooklyn, NY)	There's still some jobs that aren't totally decided yet, and most guys who have to wait this long to claim the gig usually have a pretty short leash. Among those who we know will start the year at closer, I've got to go with Fernando Rodney of the Angels, who's just not that good and has a few guys behind him, even with Scott Downs' injury. I particularly like Jordan Walden there. Honorable mention goes to Francisco Cordero, who's declining and can't possibly fend off Aroldis Chapman all year. (Mike Petriello)
2010-06-10 13:00:00	Hi Marc I have been offered Francisco Cordero for either Chase Headley, Chris Young or Kelly Johnson. My closer was Trevor Hoffman and I also have Evan Meek. What do you think of the offer? Thanks (Ed from Cranford, NJ)	I wouldn't give up Chris Young, but either Headley or Kelly Johnson would be fine. Johnson's slowed down a bit since April, but he has that park to help him, whereas Headley is more of a batting average guy with low power in a park that hurts both of those things. Headley may be your low-cost option here. (Marc Normandin)
2010-03-04 13:00:00	What is the likelihood Francisco Cordero gets dealt this year to a team where he lose his closer role? (GBSimons from Waiting for Day's End)	I haven't heard any rumblings--that may be a question better suited for June, though it would be more useful to have an answer now. (Marc Normandin)
2010-02-17 16:00:00	Who is the first closer to lose his job that people might not expect? (MarinerDan from SF)	Does Frank Francisco count as one people might not expect? Going higher, maybe Francisco Cordero? That last one is just a hunch. (Tommy Bennett)
2009-04-28 13:00:00	I've heard from a very credible source (i.e., front office) that the Yankees had a deal in place with the Reds: Francisco Cordero for Xavier Nady (killed by the Reds' owner). Should the Yankees revisit that trade and plug in a different name to help solve their bullpen issues? They could go Mets-style and us Cordero as the 8th inning guy. (Waker from Brooklyn)	Well, that trade won't happen now with Nady's elbow one more hard throw from blowing out. It would have been a good trade for both teams, though. (John Perrotto)
