Sweet!

I think Tony P still has a chance to beat him out though..

Yeah I would've gone with Tony P though.

Lyons a good choice, what gives him the edge for me is the fact that he's had the job before and was successful. Before he got hurt a couple years ago he was leading the majors in saves early on in the year.

Lyon has a nice arm. The key will be for him to stay healthy.

Definitely, but I guess thats the key with every player. He stayed healthy last year, lets hope that trend continues.

With Lyon, his elbow seems to be Kleenex strong. If he is healthy and his CB is on, he is filthy.

Blew his 1st save of the season tonight, that kinda hurt but I'm sure he'll be fine.

Nice save today for Lyon. Not a great start to the season by him, but look at Valverde.

He has certainly turned it around since last I was here. Great to see.

yeah he has turned things around nicely since the beginning of the season. I honestly can't remember the last time he blew a save.

Its been a while, its been a while since he's even given up a run. 17 games for both, just checked. Definitely Lyon was the right choice for the job, He seems to be stronger mentally than Pena Cruz or Qualsl.
