I voted for Foulke. He was in the top 5 closer rankings heading into 2002 and had a decent year, just wasn't used correctly. I have to believe that any closer in Oakland can notch 35 saves, at least, but with Foulke I believe he'll be in line for close to 45, which is why he gets my vote. I think he's slipping farther in drafts than I expected, usually about the 6th or 7th closer taken. I agree on Benson. I thought I'd be able to nab him in the last 2-3 rounds in drafts and he keeps moving up in every draft I've been in so far. He should have a great season if that offense can come together.
