Glad you did, though.

I'm with you in principle. Why not make Clayton Kershaw a Rivera-class closer? Your logic makes me feel a little bit wan, now, about watching Diaz this year.

And wondering how open they are to checking out the Chris Archer scenario in future years. If they were, then IMHO a year-and-a-half in the bullpen could be the best thing for his longterm career.
....
Gordon, do you have a prediction for how long it will take the M's to phase Diaz in to high-leverage innings? Maybe doing the closer-in-waiting nuclear 8th innings by the playoffs, or by August, or ?
