The closer role in College baseball is way underappreciated. How many times has he come in with 2+ men on and got out of the inning? Now how many other people in our bullpen do you trust to do that? Thats the diofference between a W and an L. I would keep him there.


This is what separates teams and gets them to Omaha.

I reference my playing days at ULL often but another good example is that the 3 years I was there we could hit the cover off and play defense. We won the SBC and went to a regional in 05 and 07 with outstanding bullpens. In 2006 we had the best starting rotation (statistically speaking) in the country and failed to get to a regional. The reason was that our bullpen was terrible with only 1 reliable guy.

Bullpens separate good teams from great teams.

Always Always Always.

I'd rather make opponents play a 6 or 7 inning game then a 9 inning game.
