The facts:
What am I missing here? Why does Mattingly have it switched, with Jansen setting up and League closing heading into ST?? And if he has announced this is the end of the bullpen heading into the year, it seems like Jansen has very little chance (outside of injuries) to overtake League before opening day, seeing how obvious it seems that Jansen was the better pitcher last year and the better pitcher now.
Oh, and how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?
- Jansen has already proven he can be a dominating closer (25 saves in 32 opportunities in his first shot at doing it, with a superior K rate)
- Jansen has reportedly come completely back from the heart condition
- Jansen is undoubtedly the better pitcher of the two
- League signed a 25 million contract
- League could not unseat Jansen in 2012 without the heart injury
- League has more closer experience
