Cardinals Remove Ryan Franklin From Closer Role

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa won't say who the closer is, but for the time being, it's not Ryan Franklin.
Cardinals manager Tony La Russa likened closer Ryan Franklin to a cleanup hitter in a slump, and said it's only fair to the player to unload some of his responsibilities to get him out of the "rut."
Four blown saves in five chances has apparently cost Ryan Franklin his job as the Cardinals closer, at least temporarily.
