STEADY AS HE GOES

After coming to the Twins in the A.J. Pierzynski trade with the Giants in November 2003, Joe Nathan turned into one of baseball's best closers. The major league leaders in saves since 2004:

Mariano Rivera 320

Francisco Cordero 302

Francisco Rodriguez 289

Joe Nathan 260

Trevor Hoffman 249

Jose Valverde 232

Brad Lidge 222

Jonathan Papelbon 219

Billy Wagner 197

Brian Fuentes 195

"The Twins were a team we loved ... I felt like I didn't know which direction they were heading."

Joe Nathan
