I've had Jansen on two teams.  Put him at Closer B and, believe me, he's every bit as good as Milacki. He may walk guys at times, but he'll strikeout the side and doesn't let them score and will not give up HRs. His only drawback is that he can't start for you in a must win situation.

Mike Adams. Costly for his IP, but he'll get as many saves as he has IP.

The best bargain closers (in terms of total cost) are 2009 Feliz with 31 IP and the 28 IP 1952 Mike Fornieles. As a pair, this F Troop will give 60 IP of closing for $2.7 million, and be nearly as effective as Adams but more prolific.

And they're much less likely to walk batters than 2010 Jansen.
