James: Until the team signed Greg Holland, I was looking at Bradley or Lopez to be the closer. Now, I have a feeling the role is Holland’s to lose during spring training, much like it was Boxberger’s to lose last season. I don’t have a real problem with Holland closing games, but if he stumbles early, pull the plug and get Bradley or Lopez in there to get the experience they need.
Makakilo: Three serious contenders are Greg Holland, Yoshihisa Hirano, and Archie Bradley.
