I'm pretty sure Reed is this team's closer regardless of acquisitions at this point. As a friggin reliever he was in the top 100 prospect lists and such. Let the guy get some experience before we ask where his stuff is lol.
Also, isn't one of Don Cooper's trademarks to have guys drop some velocity for more control? You can fling a wild 97 at a minor leaguer and they'll swing at it, but ML hitters won't go for that.
