Closer Watch
New York Mets - LaTroy Hawkins breezed through a perfect ninth inning against the Rockies on Thursday with 11 pitches to earn his second save in three days. The 40-year-old has somehow improved his K/BB ratio to 4.11 this season (from 1.77 a year ago), the highest it's been since 2004. His fastball is still sitting at a respectable 92.3 mph, and he's serving up his curveball far less, relying more on the changeup. Until his performance dictates otherwise, it appears Hawkins will be the the closer while Bobby Parnell (neck) is on the shelf, which could be for the rest of the season if Parnell elects for surgery.
