I think these may be the top relief choices out there. Valverde at Houston completely handled the Phils in the 6 games that the Phillies lost to Houston. Soriano in Atlanta looked pretty good. Gonzalez also in Atlanta looks like a freak on the mound. With his rocking back and forth, it just drove me nuts and besides the Phils always seems to score a run off him. Finally Rodney in Detroit. I know most of NLers didn't see him too much, but he had 36 saves out of 37 opts and throws in the upper 90s and reaches 100 sometimes. I'd say with Rodney, one more top notch starter and lets just say Figgins on 3d, the Phils just bought another world series

Figgins is no name for a MLB player. Try again.

If he hits close to 300 and steals bases like an MF, his name could be Coco Crisp for all I care just sign him

Yeah, that's the rule of thumb, but the rule of thumb also says you don't get 52 HR from your middle infielders. The Phillies clearly have enough power - they need base-runners on in front of the power guys.

Rules of thumb are not laws of nature. And what is this obsession with Figgins' name? I don't give a fig about friggin' Figgins' name. You been drinking too much of the stock?

Another poster found out his complete name, which wasn't so odd. Desmond DeChone Figgins.
