Do you think the Cubs should get a solid closer?

Answer 1

Yes...and a couple of other arms for their horrendous bullpen. Very good team until the opponent gets to their pen, then it is fingernail biting time. Lou is probably just about gone insane by now (and the starters are right there with him). Problem is there arent a lot of good relievers available on the market so they may be doomed to more bad pen outtings for the foreseeable future unless management gets off a few bucks (and that doesnt seem likely).

Answer 2

Probably a #1 priority. If they can't manage to pry a trade for the likes of Cordero(WAS), Lidge(HOU). Those are the names that seem to be on the move no matter what. Or at the very least, they should bring up a young arm if they feel the players ready. They've had some great young arms enter the rotation over the years and changing one into a bullpen guy couldn't hurt any, and wouldn't be any worse then what they have now I think, case in point what Boston did with Papelbon, who was suppose to be a starter and wasn't even noted as their best pitching prospect.

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY. and if not a solid one at least one that can throw strikes. The bum they have now blew 2 saves against the mets sporting the rare walk off walk to delgado who is also a bum. But i dont know who they can get . How about Zambrano for mo rivera and put sean henn as the yankee closer:?

Answer 4

I would like to see Kerry Wood come back as a closer, and move Dempster into the rotation. I think Woods days as a starting pitcher are over.

Answer 5

Probably not a high priority. They have to have a lead first to give to their closer and so far, they haven't had many leads. Their first priority should be an ace starter since Zambrano sure isn't pitching like one now!

Answer 6

yessss by far they should have kept kerry wood then maybe he could still be playing

Answer 7

yes they should
