Chapman has only been a Closer for 3 years so he's got some catching up to do

I'll take chapman over kimbrel all day. Although I wouldn't complain with either one.

I've seen chapman live many times and he's the most dominant pitcher i've ever witnessed. Most of time he will get through the inning without anyone even putting the ball in play. He's the definition of nasty.

Kimbrel just as dominant as chapman.
The strike to inning ratio is about the same with a slight edge to chapman.

Kimbrel is younger then chapman with 69 more saves. Thats almost 2 seasons worth of saves more then chapman and he's younger.

He has also shown that he is more durable the chapman.
Chapman has a higher chance of having injury problems then Kimbrel based on the past.

I think it's pretty obvious Kimbrel will have more saves but If I had one inning and had to choose one guy to close the world series out for me give me chapman.


btw this is homer vs homer so I don't think either of us is budging lol

But the question of the thread was who do you think will have more saves.
Not who would you rather give the ball to in the World Series.

well I decided to take it in a different direction because there is no debating who will have more saves for the reasons you listed


Even though for some reason the poll is 6-1 in chapmans favor?

but even though he's younger he is more used up :ohno:270 IP to Chapman 234 IP

Chapman was throwing his in the minors while Kimbrel was throwing his in the majors.

SAVE 106

Aroldis Chapman relieved and got the last four outs for his 30th save in 32 chances, escaping a threat in the ninth with the help of a replay.

Decent chance they won't be the same age forever? Don't Cubans often turn out to be older then they claim to be? Or is that just the Venezualens or something.
