Bill Brink: Thanks for the questions and keep them coming. Here we go ...
Strikes Joey: It really seems like a lot of closers have a short shelf-life. If Melancon is to falter, who else in the organization would take that spot? Does Watson have the right stuff, or could Holdzkom be a better candidate (if it comes to that)?
Bill Brink: Watson has the stuff to do it. The question is whether Hurdle would want one of his two lefties in the closer's role. Holdzkom can do it if he shows that his improved command in 2014 was no fluke.
