On Friday, Greg Holland had Tommy John surgery at the Kerlan-Jobe Surgical Center. Even though the surgery was a success, Andy McCullough reported that Holland would likely be gone all of next year, making Wade Davis likely to be the man the Kansas City Royals will be relying on to close out games. Is he up to the task? He already looked like he would surpass Holland anyway.
Which leads to the question? Have the Royals seen the last of Holland? Does he join the ranks of former closing greats such as Dan Quisenberry, Jeff Montgomery, and, to a lesser extent, Joakim Soria?
