How good is Joe Nathan? Part 1

As fans of the Minnesota Twins we all know Joe Nathan is a very good closer. But how good is he really? Does he stand up against the likes of Mariano Rivera and Jonathan Papelbon? If you were a manager which of these closers would you want on your team?

    This commenting system needs help. Where's the standard name/url feature?

    But I agree with Fetch. Show me FIP, tRA, and WPA and I'll tell you as well.

    I will try to address both of those issues in the coming days. Please bear with me as I am new to this.

    Thanks.
