God Damn that bullpen is looking nasty.

Not sure how Broxton is going to adjust to being a set-up man but if he can pull it off, having Broxton in the 8th and Chapman in the 9th is filthy.

There's nothing to adjust to.

Broxton is probably going to regress majorly anyway.

It has happened time and time again where guys who are used to being closers simply don't pitch as well when the game is on the line. That is something to adjust to.

It might have to do with their faults being hidden as a closer when they often come in with 2 and 3 run leads with people only looking at the save stat to evaluate them instead of pitching in tie games, 1 run games and coming in with guys on base as a set up man. Your stuff doesn't become worse when you change roles.

Your mindset does

Damn I wanted the Mets to trade for Broxton, if they were still in it.
