On the one hand Iglesias saved 34 games last season. On the other he finished with a 4.16 ERA (very, very high for a closer) and was credited with 12 loses, did that tie a major league record ? He gave up 12 HR's in 61 innings pitched. He hit 2 batters and had 3 wild pitches. His WAR dropped from averaging around 2.5 to 0.8. He had several really rough games to say the least.
Thus far this season he's at a 6.75 ERA pitching 2.2 innings in 3 games. He's gave up 6 hits and 6 runs, walked a batter and hit two guys with pitches. Opponents are batting .462 against him. In summary thus far he's been knocked around hard.
Is it time to declare someone else closer ? I'm just losing hope with him, is it to soon ?
