Pants Rowland Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Pena looked great today and the defense really seemed to respond with him on the mound. With Thornton's struggles and Pena's lights out performance today, should he be the new closer? Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd like Santos to get first crack at it. I think this pen would be way better with both Sale and Thornton freed up for the earlier innings instead of just one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Agreed that Santos is probably the best Plan B. I like Sale over the long run, but I don't think that his command is there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEdWalsh Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'd try Lillibridge as closer before Pena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't care less about post counts and I really question whether this board is any more jammed up with worthless threads now that this one has hit its second page. Also funny that you seemed to initially get it but now get annoyed over something so harmless. It would have been shuffled well down the thread queue if people didn't really act like this around here. This place has been over the top with overreaction through the offseason and a week or so into the season as well. Maybe you shouldn't post in it again to make sure it goes away as quickly as possible and doesn't annoy you any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get's that way sometimes...wouldn't get too worked up about it. I take it you've never been to the Scout Illinois basketball board? You want over the top...WACK jobs over there. Plus the mods are facists with god complexes. I appreciate passion...and this board certainly has it. Game threads seem like a Sybil remakes sometimes....it's GREAT!

Nobody in their right mind can be high on Pena right now. Though nice job today for sure. Keep it up. I actually kind of liked him as a starter last year.

YASNY Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I believe before all is said and done, Santos will become our closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I too believe that Santos is the closer of the future. The only thing I worry about is if he'll wear out down the stretch towards the end of the season. But I think he has the "bad ass" mentality to be a closer. Thornton and Sale look and act like cream puffs in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed some analysts making comments on how Santos has three plus pitches. How many closers can say that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
