Chapman should close.

I don't understand how anybody could debate this.

Re: 5/19/12 - Reds at Yankees
Marshall is a great reliever when he's used properly. It's not a knock on him. He's not bad, he just can't close.

No. He's a great reliever. Who on this club IS a "closer"? Nobody. We've got great relievers. Period.

Not every pitcher is going to have 1-2-3 innings. Not every pitcher is going to have his top stuff every time out.

Keeping Aroldis OUT of the closer role makes it much easier to pitch him multiple innings, and keep the window open for moving to starting. 7 out of 8 save opportunities isn't bad. At all.

Sure he will.

They'll be out of it by July or August, Dusty will be fired, and he'll start to get ready for next year.

I think Francisco Cordero could close. He did it for many years with great success.

I do not know what Marshall was doing there. Nobody could touch his curveball. Every time he got ahead, he threw a fastball and it was lined for a single.

If Marshall doesn't use his curveball as an out pitch, he can't close, he can't set up, he can't be successful.

Again, I don't know what Marshall was doing there.

The lefty that throws 100 miles an hour and strikes everybody out would seem to be a good bet to be a good closer.

That's the only way it happens. Or if like 3 starters arms fall off.
