Who is marlins closer

Perhaps such a back-end-of-the-bullpen comes from their pool of up-and-coming starting pitching prospects, a familiar name like Meyer, Edward Cabrera, Jordan Holloway, etc. In the meantime, Yimi Garcia is more than solid as a placeholder.

He converted his fifth save of the season on Thursday, lowering his ERA to 2. Prognosticating this is difficult—with the right adjustments, practically anyone could prove to be a unique weapon in Miami Marlins history.

By andrew townes May 7, , am EDT. Reddit Pocket Flipboard Email. Poll Who do you think will be the first truly, reliably dominant closer for Miami? Anthony Bender. Max Meyer. The left-handed-hitting Sierra, who is out of options, can play all three outfield positions and showcases game-changing speed on the bases.

Should the club turn to 13 pitchers via four starters and nine relievers, that leaves a spot for the right-handed-hitting Brinson to be the fifth natural outfielder. Berti and Cooper also will see outfield reps. He appeared in just three Grapefruit League games. Entering Monday, Rogers had recorded the second-most strikeouts 29 in Spring Training in just 19 innings.

It would be hard to ignore how impressive he has looked, even with just five Double-A starts to his name before making his MLB debut in Sixto's almost there. Miami hopes to use Floro in high-leverage situations.

Rule 5 Draft picks Campbell, who can pitch multiple innings, and Pop, will appear out of the bullpen. That made right-hander James Hoyt, who was dealt to the Angels on Monday night for cash considerations, the odd man out.

Roster decisions loom before Opening Day. Cooper Elbow: Expected to be out until at least Feb 1, Elbow: Expected to be out until at least Feb 1, Finger: Probable for start of season. Devers Shoulder: Expected to be out until at least Feb 1, Marlins' Lewis Brinson: Idle Sunday. Sanchez Hamstring: Expected to be out until at least Feb 2, Hamstring: Expected to be out until at least Feb 2, Diaz Lewin Diaz.

Miller Brian Miller. Starters No. Alcantara Sandy Alcantara T. Rogers Trevor Rogers P. Lopez Marlins' Pablo Lopez: Throws 1. Garcia has a career 3. Don't let the fact that Yimi Garcia isn't a huge name distract you, the Marlins just added a great RP: When you compare the numbers that make a closer very effective, Garcia has the clear advantage over Bass. Bass strikes batters out at a career clip of just Garcia generates a lot of swing and miss while Bass will get outs with more contact and ground balls.

There are multiple ways to be effective in the 9th inning, but to me Garcia has a better recipe for success in clutch situations. You want a guy that will shut a lineup down, work efficiently and keep the bases clean. To me, getting guys to swing and miss is the most important job a reliever has and Garcia does that much more effectively than Bass.

Craig Mish and MLB. I was told yesterday that the Marlins are by no means finished after the Bass news.
