Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 02:29 PM) Good insurance for Chapman. I was watching Chapman the other night. When he came into the game they said at that time of the last 43 guys he retired, 34 were strikeouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Royals spent money on him last offseason and wound up with a valuable trade piece out of it? That seems like effective GM work.

greg775 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 We play the Royals several more times. This could be bad, cause Broxton could implode in the ninth. They now have MUCH BETTER closer options in terms of stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be bad, cause Broxton could implode in the ninth. They now have MUCH BETTER closer options in terms of stuff. Doesn't mean they will be effective in the closers role. "Stuff" may be key in a good closer, but the "mental" side is much bigger. Broxton has proven he can close games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 they have some better arms like Holland/Crow/Herrera they can have close now, but it weakens their middle relief. With how bad their starting pitching is, this is likely going to hurt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
