Aroldis Chapman - R - Cincinnati Reds

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty and manager Dusty Baker officially announced Friday that Aroldis Chapman will be the team's closer this season.
Jocketty also denied that he had been pushing for Chapman to move into the rotation, which has been the common thought. Although it would have been interesting to see what the lefty would have done as a starter, he prefers to close, and it's possible that's the role he's best suited for. Jonathan Broxton will now be used as a setup man, while Mike Leake will be the club's fifth starter.
