Title: How Do You Guys Like This Closer for the Braves? Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 29, 2011, 10:40:48 PM He's a kid from Huntsville and he's on pace to have 43 saves this year. I hope he can be an effective closer for a long time for the Braves.

Post by: Jamos on May 30, 2011, 06:10:10 AM He has done a good job the times that I have seen him pitch but in MLB, it's all about how well you play after the All Star break. I hope he can become the next big time closer for the Braves.
Title: Re: How Do You Guys Like This Closer for the Braves? Post by: 2Stater on May 30, 2011, 07:37:56 AM I like him just fine. I didn't care much for the umpire in last night's game when he came in to close, though. Ump couldn't recognize a strike if it bit him. Kimbrel got through it anyway.

Title: Re: How Do You Guys Like This Closer for the Braves? Post by: KoKoPuf on May 30, 2011, 10:16:47 AM I think Kimbrell will be great, barring injuries. Needs a little bit better control, IMO. With Venters, who I think is the best right now, and Kimbrell for the 8th and 9th innings, it makes it tough for anyone to come from behind.

I think he will be great for years to come. I hope so. For years, the Braves have been snake-bit when it comes to closers. Title: Re: How Do You Guys Like This Closer for the Braves?
