wishful thinking....but could you guys see villarreal turning into a future closer. He has a couple really nice pitches and can definitely throw it by ppl.

I wouldn't mind him being transitioned to a closer's role at some point. Has a power arm and really good movement on a lot of his pitches.

Absolutely could, it's just a matter of him staying calm and not getting over amp'd from time to time.

Physically he clearly has the tools to be a closer. Throws hard and has swing and miss pitches incuding some off speed stuff. It just comes down to mentally...and can he do it consistently. He looks great at times though.
