It's pretty simple - I don't think Todd Jones is a better option at closer than Joe Borowski. I also don't think Borowski is a better option than Todd. They're both mediocre and arguing which one is "more bad" actually bolsters the strength of my position.
I'd actually argue that the only reason is wasn't more of an issue in 2007 for either team is because they're both in the Central. Either team would've been motivated to upgrade last year had they been in any other division.
Heading into '08, both teams need to upgrade at the position. If Jones is back in Detroit, it's as a hand-cuff for Zumaya. The Indians will likely hand-cuff someone to Borowski as well if they bring him back. Both are Plan B closers, at best, for a playoff team......
