Oh, ok. You thought he would be a closer in the future but not the cubs closer. I'm sure all those other teams will be happy you are looking out for them.

and chet made no such distinctions

He absolutely did. He even laid out the path of him going to a non contending team to figure it out.

The Cubs are really good. You may have missed that.

but he didn't stop there

I did miss that the Cubs are good. I will grant you that they have been competitive in a historically bad league and were able to come back from a 3-1 deficit against an AL team missing two of its starters. I can't take that away from them.

No chance Carl can be a closer on a contending team.

Man you having a rough day. The NL is not historically bad. That would have been 15 years ago. And it's not like the Cubs missed every ace in their World Series run including the Cy Young like some other teams who lucked their way to a forgotten championship.

I was told that Cub fans did not perpetually consider CJ the closer of the future

4 out of 5 just said that exact thing. So you were told right, I guess.


Nas
Chet
1/2 of you, before you realized I was correct again

You had nothing to do with it. I was talking years ago when I thought that.

And Chet said he can be a closer on a bad team, not the best team in the National League.


So thats

Yes
Nas

No
Chet
Zack
Me
Rogue


Dont worry, Im sure you'll be right about something eventually. Moncada might be decent some day.


May want to rethink that placement of Chet, champ. "He may be able to be a closer on a playoff team" sounds distinctly like a guy who thinks he can be a closer of the future.

Then there is you who admits he thought he was a closer of the future until he didn't think it.

So its a Charlie Sheen tie

To be clear...

- I won't be surprised if CJ Edwards is a closer on a playoff team in 2022 or 2023, after his six years of cheap team control are up and he has matured
- I won't be surprised if CJ Edwards is a closer for a team like Kansas City, San Diego, or Miami in 2019
- I will be stunned if CJ Edwards is a successful closer on a playoff team in 2019-2021, especially if it the Chicago Cubs. He's not strong enough, and he's not mentally experienced enough.
