Doo: RP vs. CP Pro/Con?

I don't think Doolittle should be our primary closer until he can develop a solid second offering he can throw for strikes in any count. Madson has a good fastball with a filthy changeup. Also please dont counter me with the "but Doo has a split change" BS, that pitch needs much, much, much more refinement.

Doolittle should stick as a reliever for now.

he seems back enough to his normal self to at least be slotted as the closer if the matchups make sense (righties coming up in the 8th, lefties 9th) but overall Madson is more effective with the FB/change.

He still struggles with control against RHHs. If he works out his control issues, there's no reason he couldn't close. Right now it's better if Madson closes since we'll probably be trading him and everyone likes that shiny closer label.
