DateQuestionAnswer
2011-02-08 14:00:00 (link to chat)ok Who Ends up Closing for the orioles? Uehara or Gregg? Or another?
(BStephen from Milwaukee)
I'd bet on Uehara -- he really impressed last year, and Gregg is really just another guy. Of course, Uehara is up against the dreaded Familiarity Breeds Contempt disease that afflicts most Japanese closers sooner or later, so at some point he'll turn into Shingo Takatsu. I'm guessing that will be next year. (Ken Funck)
