Dodgers Dugout: Kenley Jansen gives the Dodgers a leg up at closer

Hi, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. My name is Houston Mitchell, and my TV is warmed up and ready to go ..... not that I can watch the Dodgers on it.

The closer

Continuing our rankings of the NL West teams at various positions, let’s turn to the closers. If you want to see the infield comparison, go here; outfield, go here; starting rotation, go here.

1. Kenley Jansen, Dodgers

Last three seasons: 8-7/2.32 ERA/108 saves/90.8% SV%/5.2 WAR

Jansen is one of the most underrated players in the game, who for some reason never comes up when "experts" talk about the best closers.
