No. 1 -- Minnesota Twins Last season, Minnesota's bullpen had the best winning percentage in the Major Leagues (.722), the lowest ERA (2.91) and allowed just 39 homers in 498 innings , second only to Oakland (37 in 465 innings). Closer Joe Nathan (7-0, 36 saves, 1.58 ERA) held opponents to a .158 batting average and issued only 16 walks in 64 games. Right-hander Pat Neshek (4-2, 2.19, .176 opponents' batting average), left-hander Dennys Reyes (5-0, 0.89, .197), and right-handers Jesse Crain (4-5, 3.52, 18 walks in 76.2 innings) and Matt Guerrier have different styles, but all have excellent stuff, throw strikes and do not allow a lot of baserunners. No. 2 -- Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Brendan Donnelly left for Boston, but weep not for the Angels bullpen. Not only are Francisco Rodriguez (2-3, 1.73, converted 47 of 51 save opportunities), Scot Shields (7-7, 2.87 in 74 games) and Hector Carrasco (7-3, 3.41 in 56 games ) back, the Angels added Justin Speier (2-0, 2.98 in 58 games for Toronto last season) to what should be another lights-out bullpen No. 3 -- Oakland Athletics The A's come right at hitters with young, hard throwers and effective options for each situation. Closer Huston Street (4-4, 3.31, 37 saves), Justin Duchsch- erer (2-1, 2.91, converted nine of 11 save opportunities), Kiko Calero (3-2, 3.41), Chad Gaudin (4-2, 3.09), Brad Halsey and Jay Witasick are back from a staff that led the Major Leagues with 54 saves and won 25 of 40 decisions. Joe Kennedy will likely move to the rotation, and lefties Ron Flores and Scott Sau- erbeck are gone, but the A's added veteran Alan Embree (4-3, 3.27 for the Padr- es last season) to help against left-handed hitters. No. 4 -- Detroit Tigers Left-hander Jamie Walker will be missed, but the Tigers should still have one of the more effective bullpens in the game, with Todd Jones closing things out and Jason Grilli, Wil Ledezma, Fernando Rodney and Joel Zumaya bridging the gap between the starters and Jones. The Tigers also added veteran right-hander Jose Mesa as another setup option, which will give manager Jim Leyland the option of resting Zumaya or Rodney more often than he could last year.The Detroit bullpen held opposing hitters to a .242 batting average last season, the second-best showing in baseball behind the Mets. No. 5 -- New York Mets The Mets will miss Roberto Hernandez, currently with Cleveland, but they still have Billy Wagner (3-2, 2.24 ERA, 40 saves) to close the door and most of the rest of the cast back from a bullpen that won a Major League-best 32 games last season and held opposing hitters to a .239 batting average, which also led the Majors. Aaron Heilman (3.62 ERA in 74 games), Pedro Feliciano (7-2, 2.09), Dua- ner Sanchez (5-1, 2.49), Guillermo Mota, and recently acquired Scott Schoenewe- is and Ambiorix Burgos should give manager Willie Randolph plenty of options and the Mets another stout bullpen in'07. 补强成这样还输给梅子，想不通，不过就用战绩这些所谓专家眼睛摔烂吧 -- --
