The whitesox should have never permanently demoted Foulke from the closers role, and now he will flourish in Oakland. I guess you can say well it isn't a rape, since Koch is solid, but if Keith Foulke is as nasty as he was the two years before last, and I think he will be(he couldn't help the lack of save chances that got him in his rut last year), the A's upgraded at closer. Add in that offense and big 3 pitching-watch out.
meh... Foulke is so inconsistent, he'll drive you nuts at times. The scuttlebutt on him here is that the AL was really starting to figure him out. Guess we'll see. That said, I really liked the guy.
