“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.”

“160 Ks. ERA below 3.50. Win total at 15 is all you want from Jonathon. Will you get it? I would say yes, but the win total is going to feel very quiet as the Mets will not win many games.”
