Much of the Brewers success this season can be attributed to the work of closer Francisco Cordero, who has amassed a Major League-best 32 saves.

However, Cordero has been Jekyll and Hyde when it comes to his performance at home and on the road:

Split	G	GS	GF	W	L	S	CG	SHO	IP	ERA	H	R	ER	HR	BB	SO
Home	28	0	25	0	0	21	0	0	27	0.33	8	1	1	0	11	38
Away	17	0	16	0	4	11	0	0	15.2	8.62	28	15	15	1	3	19

Yes, you are reading that right. His ERA at home is roughly 1/26th of his road ERA. He is allowing 2.66 hits per 9 innings at home, and 16.6 hits per 9 innings on the road. Even more strangely, his control and K/BB rates are substantially better on the road.

Split	G	PA	AB	R	H	2B	3B	HR	BB	SO	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS	BAbip
Home	28	101	89	1	8	1	0	0	11	38	.090	.190	.101	.291	.157
Away	17	75	70	15	28	7	0	1	3	19	.400	.419	.543	.962	.529

The .157/.529 BABIP split boggles the mind. Is Cordero THAT hit-lucky at home (or hit-unlucky on the road)? Are the Brewers defenders napping on the road, while on their toes in front of their faithful fans?

Given his 2.10/5.48 home/road ERA split, the recently-acquired Scott Linebrink isn't the answer to the Crew's closer problems on the road either.

Daniels, your trades leave me terrified.
The Rangers get worse, not new-erafied.
