It would be wise for the A's to look for a Joe Nathan type closer. Semi-Failed Starters, Two Great Pitches, Live Fastball, 26-30 Years Old. These types of guys are out there, and I think this is where Billy Beane should begin his Closer search.
Some names that come to mind -
Vicente Padilla
Scott Elarton
Jon Garland
Colby Lewis
Gil Meche
Wade Miller
Kip Wells
Paul Wilson
Jamey Wright
