good to hear that Kuo's elbow is feeling good. I wonder if Torre will try Kuo out at the closer spot this season. what do u think terror? If Broxton is inconsistent and doesnt lock down the closer spot, I could see Kuo moving from set-up man to closer. He has got the stuff(like Broxton) to be a good closer for sure.
He'll probably be a situational reliever. I can't see him being the closer on a daily basis - not with his history of injuries.
