I would be fine with naming Iglesias the premiere reliever for this bullpen. But I think he should be used very differently from Chapman. Chapman was a 9th inning reliever. He came in when the game was won and they wanted to keep the fans through the game.
That kind of shit doesn't matter in MLB baseball anymore. Closers have been statistically proven to not be a useful role for a great pitcher.
Iglesias should be the pitcher that we bring in when we NEED to get people out. Not exclusively when we have a lead and want to close the door.
