May 20, 201412 yr If the Reds knew Chapman was only going to save 85% of his save chances 4 years ago think they would have moved him back to starter? He may have sucked as a starter but he's just like all the rest of the closers except he strikes out a few more batters.

Chapman does it, and nothing. Chapman is fun, he's exciting, must see TV. Elite closer, he is not.

Chapman took a laser off the grill, let's give him a bit of a break. He pitches with a plate in his head. Do you post with one in yours?
May 20, 201412 yr Hey, I'm all for packaging Chapman and whatever for a bat. The best Red could close.

When you make the kind of money he makes, you don't deserve a break. Everyone in Reds land acts like he's the greatest closer on the planet. It's just not the case. There are a dozen closers in the game right now that convert at a higher clip than he does. That's not elite.

May 20, 201412 yr Chapman took a laser off the grill, let's give him a bit of a break. He pitches with a plate in his head. Do you post with one in yours? That's a new argument. He has never really closed at an elite clip.
