Who Should Be Our Closer In 2011?

[ChiSportsRich]

I want Santos to be the closer.

I like Santos too. Not this year tho. the way id like to see it work is,
2011,Closer: Sale; Setup: Thornton, Santos
2012-Closer: Santos, Sale to the Rotation

Sale's projected to be a starter?

I thought he was supposed to be a long-term closer?

 

[Capt. Serious]

I want Thornton closing out games. I don't want Sale in the bullpen, period.

Too much talent to be wasted there.

Yeah he was drafted to be a starter

But can the Sox fit him in to this year's rotation anyway?

 

[Jntg4]

Yeah he was drafted to be a starter

OK, this closer talk and him being in the pen last year threw me off a bit.

From all reports, Sale's mechanincs are notstarting pitching material. Not that it couldn't change.

Actually according to Don Cooper he says he sees nothing that raises red flags in Sales delivery. I dont agree, his mechanics scare me but Coop is the Man.

 

[Capt. Serious]

Sale's delivery scares me regardless if he's in the pen or a starter.

That has TJS written all over it but I hope i'm wrong.

For sure, it looks bad but they could tweek it during ST

 

[Capt. Serious]

Yeah, I have alot of faith in Coop so hope it is a non-issue.
