Newest free-agent closer would be a disastrous decision for Jed Hoyer and the Cubs
Finnegan had 38 saves with only five blown opportunities, but his 3.68 ERA was pretty high for a closer, and statistics like his 4.25 FIP and his 4.31 xERA suggest he's lucky that his ERA was where it ended up. The right-hander has always been a solid reliever, but he has a 3.56 ERA over the course of his career.
