“Now our #2 closer, Chapman announced to close for Reds in 2013”

 

“The move to closer should have no rankings value either way. ”

 

“*Chapman wants to go back to closer. His value will swing up either way on the decision.Just need one*3/18 Chapman goes to starting pitcher, and while there is some risk of arm fatigue during the season. Aroldis is simply too dangerous. The fact he qualifies at RP gives your team a huge edge in the Strikeout position.”

“Espinosa is playing with a torn rotator cuff this season. Last year after he received the injury his stats took a huge plunge making him look like Alexi Casilla. He says he is alright, but that 20/20 potential drops to 10/15, as well as that batting average down to .250 max.”

 

“He?s decided to play through a torn rotator cuff in 2013 and bypass surgery, so there?s obvious risk here. But the reward could be a 20-20 season. ”
