The sooner we realize Matt Thornton is NOT a closer the better off we'll be. Keep him as the setup guy where he's dominated the past few years.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that it is too early to be saying that... but I agree.
I know there are million of stats some of you guys will bring up to prove me wrong. I don't know if it's the selection of games I watch or what, but it seems to me that Matt is never comfortable when he is put in that closing spot. The MT-CS duo at the end of last year worked perfect and I was hoping it would stay the same the same this year.
For the sake of the team I hope I'm wrong and Matt becomes an ALL-STAR closer.
