Mike Gonzales is an elite closer and is also a steal (4th year player).

And relievers are much more fungible than any other position, and their year-to-year success fluctuates drastically. LaRoche is a better short-term and long-term bet. A lot of teams are overpaying for relief pitching when smart management could get them the same results for much less.
