BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2009-04-28 13:00:00	Given Manny Acta's limited options, is he going to stick with Joel Hanrahan at closer after his awful start, or is he going to give a guy like Jason Bergmann a shot (a failed started with good stuff and health issues)? (Peeig13 from The Second City)	This is my darkhorse for the Nationals' closer: Kip Wells. His results have never matched his stuff as a closer and a lot of times many pitchers who fit that profile wind up being good closers for a time. Eric Gagne is a prime example. (John Perrotto)
2009-04-28 13:00:00	Hi John, Is your Kip Wells closer theory based on inside information or is it pure speculation? Thanks. Joe (Swingingbunts from NY)	Theory. (John Perrotto)
2008-07-30 12:30:00	Any chance the Pirates can still trade one of our... er, I mean their bevy of pitchers for Ryan Howard? Oh how I yearn for 2004. (Darven Lithelifeld from Anonymous South Side Bar)	yeah, maybe Kip Wells. LOL (John Perrotto)
2008-01-17 14:00:00	Am I correct to be more than a little scared about the Rockies rotation? After Cook and Francis, I see some very talented youngsters who probably need more seasoning and are likely overrated for their great stretch at the end of 2007 (Morales and Jimenez). (Dan from Denver)	Put it this way: better to place your faith in Jimenez, Hirsh, and Morales than to have any confidence in Kip Wells or Mark Redman. You're right, this is definitely a problem area, one that figures to take the Rockies back out of the playoff picture if two of those three youngsters don't pan out. (Christina Kahrl)
