If you want to make a starter a closer, do it to Wellemeyer. He's got the best fastball, a plus slider, and he throws a lot of strikes.

We've blown what, 100 saves this year? How is Wainwright as closer bad? Especially if we're trying to ease him back in. And who do you trust not to choke, Wellemeyer, or Mr. I-Won-The-World-Series?
Luckily the Cubs play the Brewers this week. Hopefully they'll beat the hell out of each other and we can gain some ground.
