"Just look at last year to know what he's (Rafael Soriano) meant this year. [Last year we were not] able to really close games on a consistent basis. And [it's also hard] having to parcel out your bullpen to the point where you have guys for the ninth inning. Now you just know that that's taken care of, and you try to piece things together for eight innings. That's a huge difference." – Tampa Bay Rays Manager Joe Maddon on MLB.com (Bill Chastain, 09/25/2010, 'Soriano sets Rays' record for saves', Source)
