Minnesota Twins: Could Kintzler Be a Long Term Closer?

Currently, he has accumulated 10 saves in 11 opportunities while putting up a 0.98 WHIP and 1.98 ERA.

Those are great numbers coming from a guy who had posted an ERA under 3.00 just once before.

With that said, Kintzler was in the middle of trade rumors before the deadline and still finds his name coming up as a waiver deal candidate.

Regardless of if he stays or gets sent packing, it has been a strong season for Kintzler. Personally, I would like to see the Minnesota Twins hold onto him in case Glen Perkins runs into more injury issues in 2017.
