Because of his superlative strikeout totals (better than some low-end starters), Broxton is one of the few closers worth an investment. While his save totals may not equal other closers, and one shouldn't expect a repeat of the seven wins, they certainly won't be that much worse. As a result we like him better than some of the usual candidates. 5-38-2.75-1.10-95 in 75 IP

Positives / Upside	Broxton Struck out more people than starters Derek Lowe, Jon Garland or Joel Pineiro. A lot of people ignore the effects of closer statistics on their overall numbers, but wouldn't you rather have Max Scherzer than Jason Hammel? Broxton struck out 42 more than Mariano Rivera. 5-40-2.40-1.05-110 in 85 IP
Negatives / Downside	The strikeout were nice, but the seven wins were Broxton's main boost. Vulture wins like this are next to impossible to predict. With an unlikely looking starting rotation and the possibility of a fire sale as mentioned in the recently made public business plan, it's not a certain thing that he will be able to improve upon his 36 saves from 2009. 3-35-3.10-1.20-85 in 70 IP
