"The Yankees are expected to place Weaver on the injured list Tuesday with Fernando Cruz slated to be activated. Williams figures to slide back in the closer role. The two-time All-Star hasn't given up a run in 11 of his past 13 appearances, lowering his ERA from 11.25 to 6.23 over the span."
I'm not sure it even matters. A great player will be replaced by an inferior player.
I just personally still don't trust Williams ... and while it's contrary to my general belief that roles don't matter much, I think the recent successes listed above are not proof that Williams is ready to close ... rather, they're proof that he can excel in the setup role.
