Cordero content with setup role
Francisco Cordero - R - Toronto Blue Jays
Feb. 7, 2012 - 4:20 AM ET
Francisco Cordero understands his role as the Blue Jays' setup man in 2012, vowing to "treat the eighth inning like the ninth and get us to [Sergio] Santos."
Cordero added, "They explained to me what my role is going to be, I agreed to it, and I'll be more than happy to do it." The 36-year-old has been a closer for most of his career and is 12th on the all-time saves list. With anointed closer Sergio Santos amassing eight blown saves in 39 career chances, Cordero could accrue more value as the season progresses.
