MARIANO RIVERA RUMORS
Player Profile #95: Mariano Rivera | RP | NYY
It seems our closers get ranked in bunches, huh? We ranked four closers from 190-196, and two times since then we’ve ranked two closers back to back. Well, make that three times. Drew Storen, our 96th-ranked player, and Mariano Rivera, number 95, are a fascinating pairing. While Storen brings youthfulness and potential, Rivera brings experience and dependability. Because of age...

Players to Celebrate in 2012: Mariano Rivera
The 2012 season may be the last for some of the best players of this generation. Yesterday we focused on Chipper Jones in the first part of a series celebrating these players. Jones has a contract possibility of playing in 2013, but it seems likely that this will be his swan song.

EXPECTATIONS: He turned 41 at the...
