Solomon Torres closing games isn't going to get you in the playoffs. Why? He's having a great season and the closer role is such a joke. How can you say it's a joke? Most teams in the postseason have brilliant closers. For instance, the playoffs last year. Yankees have Rivera. Red Sox have Papelbon. Rockies had Corpas. Arizona had Valverde. Angels had K-Rod. You could always say the Indians had Borowski, and the Cubs had Dempster, but go ahead and tell me how the closer position is a joke. First of all, I'm not sure why you're calling Corpas a "brilliant closer". Second, I'm not sure why you're just shrugging off Dempster and Borowski when they are perfect example of why your statement was false. Torres is having a much better season than either of those guys had last season, yet suddenly th Brewers have no chance of making the playoffs because Torres is closing. Anyways, I don't know why you're talking as though Torres is terrible. He's having a good season.
