Here are the top 5 reasons the Los Angeles Dodgers may need to trade closer Jonathan Broxton.
1. Broxton chokes in the big games. Example – Yankee Series – Cardinals series – Giants last night. Phillies in the last 2 seasons in the National Championship Series.
2. Broxton at best is a set up man. He was great in the role when the dodgers had Saito. Now he has lost all his confidence and cant perform in the big games, think Brad Lidge type of melt down.
3. He is predictible, the national league has seem him for the last couple of years and the big name teams with scouts watching him constantly know what to expect.
4. Durability, Broxton is a big boy and doesnt look like he has been getting smaller the last couple years, weight may be an issue in his performance.
5. Dodgers need another starting pitcher, Broxton’s value is not getting any better with all these bad games.
