Maybe you misunderstood me... At this point and time with so much riding on how well we are playing there should be no shortage of talk about our bullpen which currently has been inconsistant, especially with our bullpen blowing a lot of games for our starters. I think Hermanson, Politte, Marte and Cotts have been very solid so far but maybe adding a "true" closer like a Billy Wagner or a guy with stuff that make hitters tremble would just be the thing that puts us over the top. We would never have to worry about the 9th inning again if we were up and a guy like Wagner on our team to shut down the opposition.
Alright, fair enough. I guess I've just never cared if someone has "true closer stuff" as long as they're getting the job done I could care less how fast someone is throwing. Just cause you throw hard doesn't make you a good closer, there have been plenty of good closers who didn't throw 98 mph but that's jmo.
