---|---|---|
2009-04-28 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Given Manny Acta's limited options, is he going to stick with Joel Hanrahan at closer after his awful start, or is he going to give a guy like Jason Bergmann a shot (a failed started with good stuff and health issues)? (Peeig13 from The Second City) | This is my darkhorse for the Nationals' closer: Kip Wells. His results have never matched his stuff as a closer and a lot of times many pitchers who fit that profile wind up being good closers for a time. Eric Gagne is a prime example. (John Perrotto) |
2009-04-28 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Hi John,
Is your Kip Wells closer theory based on inside information or is it pure speculation?
Thanks.
Joe (Swingingbunts from NY) | Theory. (John Perrotto) |
2008-07-30 12:30:00 (link to chat) | Any chance the Pirates can still trade one of our... er, I mean their bevy of pitchers for Ryan Howard? Oh how I yearn for 2004. (Darven Lithelifeld from Anonymous South Side Bar) | yeah, maybe Kip Wells. LOL (John Perrotto) |
2008-01-17 14:00:00 (link to chat) | Am I correct to be more than a little scared about the Rockies rotation? After Cook and Francis, I see some very talented youngsters who probably need more seasoning and are likely overrated for their great stretch at the end of 2007 (Morales and Jimenez). (Dan from Denver) | Put it this way: better to place your faith in Jimenez, Hirsh, and Morales than to have any confidence in Kip Wells or Mark Redman. You're right, this is definitely a problem area, one that figures to take the Rockies back out of the playoff picture if two of those three youngsters don't pan out. (Christina Kahrl) |
