So has Mariano Rivera his whole career...oh wait
Mariano actually got to try his luck as a starter. Aroldis hasn't. It's not like he can't move back to the pen if it doesn't work out. Finding an elite starter isn't easy; finding a competent closer is much easier.

I agree. Too much talent to not give a shot.

I remember that now.

Good lord. The guy is a beast in the closer roll. Why y'all wanna fix something that ain't broke.

Because closers are stupid.

Chapman was a non factor in our playoff series last year

Because he has Ace potential which outweighs having an elite closer. Id rather have him start and bring in a veteran closer. The closer role is overrated.

One thing to consider is that the guy the reds signed to be the closer if chapman won the 5 slot (broxton) has sucked massive dong this year.

That pitch is basically unhittable when you set it up with a 102 mph fastball.
Dear. God.
Dear. God.

Until you need one to get 3 outs in an important game.
Check WS winners over the past 20 years.

He has also had basically no impact on the Reds season this year. Someone cited it on the first page but he has thrown 2 innings when the score was within 2 runs. He may not be in the top 10 most meaningful players to this Reds season so far.
