On his blog at 1050, Coutinho gives odd on who will be closer for the Mets next season.

No real surprises, but an interesting read.

A sample:

“If K-Rod’s entourage would accept a three year deal with a club option I tend to think this could get done. The reason is if the Mets want to insure the contract, companies only insure the first 3 years of baseball contracts these days but there are more issues here. Some people have indicated K-Rod has lost a bit off his fastball and worry about all the innings he has pitched the past 2 seasons. I am not one of those people. His 1.29 WHIP coupled with the fact AL DH lineups hit only .216 against him confirms his pedigree as one of the top 3 closers in the sport.”
