The Dempster Question?

Last week Cubs.com's Beat Reporter Carrie Muskat fielded a mailbag question about Ryan Dempter. "Without laughing, can you say Ryan Dempster is a good closer? I think this is our biggest weak spot and should be the No. 1 priority in the offseason." Here is a link to the article in question:

In the article, Muskat defends Dempster, quoting his many saves. I really disagreed with the article when I read it, thinking instead of Dempster's 4.5+ ERA. That ERA basically means that he gives up an earned run in half of his appearances. Wow.
