Good analogy, but I'd say that they are more like kickers, except for the way to much money part. I think a big part of this role is confidence and Axford has to have zero right now. He's just very hittable this season. Even the outs last night were smoked. As for a replacement, I'd go with K-Rod in the short term. Heck, call me crazy, but I may even give Parra a shot to close some games down the road. I'd just CUT loose Parra!
