Sort of germane to the topic, but I wonder what role he'll have?  I highly doubt Buck would pitch him in the 8th or 9th innings of a close game, at least at first.  My guess would be a middle innings role.  I would assume Givens is now the closer?  As for the setup guys, I guess maybe Castro and either Wright or Scott?  With Britton and Brach gone, there's quite a bit to sort out.

We might find out he was indeed talking about Mike Wright when discussing future closers?

Tom Davis hypothesized that Mike Wright is Buck's surprise candidate to close.

Has Carroll been in Norfolk for ten days already? I didn't think that he had.

I'm not sure why that would matter. The ten day rule is for players optioned off of the MLB club. Carroll is not on the 40-man roster, so he wasn't optioned to AAA. Obviously he will have to be added to the 40 man roster now, but there is plenty of room.

He seems to be the front runner for it, considering the need for a pitcher. I'd nothing else, he will get the first look.
