Yes, we need both.....Iglesias was always a relief pitcher before he became a Red.....Reds tried him last year as a starter, but now Reds have him in bullpen.......Add that all up and the fact he wants to be a closer and probably could be the best closer Reds could have, it's worth a try.......In modern day baseball, the bullpen may be more important than the starters, and the closer may be most important pitcher on the team......I say let him have his wish and use him as the closer......The starters, well, they need a huge upgrade before 2017 season, as does the rest of bullpen, but finding closer is a start.
