MLB.com: [Francisco] Cordero hurting for save opportunities

It seems almost ironic.

The Reds spent $46 million to land free-agent closer Francisco Cordero. And now they can’t give him any games to close.

Entering Tuesday, the Reds ranked 30th out of 30 Major League teams in save opportunities with two.
...
“I want to get some saves because it shows we’re winning, but you just want us to get back on track,” said Cordero, who signed a four-year contract in November. “You want to win, it doesn’t matter if I get a save situation or not. I’m sure it will come.”
...
“He’ll have plenty of opportunities, trust me,” Baker said. “I’m waiting for the day when you ask me ‘Dusty, are you really using him again today?’”
