In response to "Was he being considered for Closer? -- nm" by Strongbad

No, Venters and Kimbrel will be closer/setup guy, but he would have been the 7th inning power arm.

As a lefty, he would have matchup appearances as well, and those would have been four pitch walks way too often. I'm really happy to have that guy in the division for another team. He strikes out about 16 per nine innings but he also walks 7.
