Closer by Committee

[HUGG]

After the game, Redmond was asked: Who’s your closer?

“We’re going to use everybody,” he replied.

“We’re going to use Cishek. We’ll use Qualls. We haven’t had that many save opportunities. We need those guys to pitch. We need Cishek to go down there and log some innings. He’s still going to close games.

“Qualls might close some games. (Mike) Dunn might close some games. We need these guys to pitch we need them to stay sharp. They’re all going to contribute.”

Good thing Ozzie didn't do this last year.

Watching Heath Bell be the worst pitcher ever 3/4 nights a week was just what the rebrand needed.

[Beef]

They don't really need them to stay sharp

Steve Cishek isn't making $6 million this year.

Erick was too late

[Namaste]

Steve Cishek isn't making $6 million this year.

And this means...........?

[Erick]

And this means...........?

Bell wasn't immediately taken out of the role because of how much he was making.

The Marlins have no real financial obligation to the relievers on their roster this year.

Back to the discussion, I would AJ Ramos gets more high-leverage innings than Chad Qualls, for what it's worth.

OBVIOUSLY, Erick.

But that doesn't mean it was the right decision.

[Erick]

My point is that it probably wasn't up to Ozzie. It could have been another moment brought to you by Jeffrey Loria.

[Ramp]

Cishek is probably more valuable as a set up guy anyway (same goes with Qualls or one of these retreads as the closer)

This won't happen for at least a month or 2 but watch for Atlanta in a trade for Mike Dunn. They lost both their lefties and have already called on Dunn,who can be had for the right package according to reports.

[AdamRavs]

Didnt we get Dunn from ATL?

[Erick]

The Uggla deal, yeah.
