Kruk: Dempster for Closer
#10
<!--quoteo(post=55677:date=Aug 4 2009, 08:40 PM:name=1060Ivy)-->QUOTE (1060Ivy @ Aug 4 2009, 08:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->If the closer position continues to be an issue - and the closer spot hasn't been an issue except last 4 games since April - and Gorzelanny can provide great starts against teams with more offensive fire power than the Reds, Dempster can be option in late August or September.

Demp could be an option but why shouldn't Kruk say that Z, Lilly or Harden is an option.

Hell, I would love to see Harden as a closer if he could curtail his propensity to give up the long ball.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm sure he said it because Dempster's been our closer for a few years. Still, there's no guarantee he has the same comfort level as back then. Plus his ERA was usually bad and it seems his save success was a bit lucky. I don't think he's for sure a better option than Gregg, Marmol, Guzman, or Grabow even.

I don't know, I think it's a terrible idea for so many reasons. And what if Harden or somebody gets hurt again?
