Can we use DL Hall, Fuji and Cano as closers by committee?  Fuji / Hall can throw triple digit FB.

I don’t think you can use guys with walk rates of Fuji and DL as closer.

I think Cano is closer #1, Webb and Coulombe 2 and 2A

I see Hall & Fuji, in the playoffs, as the guys you go to in the 5th/6th inning to snuff out a third-time-through-the-order rally with a K or two.

Can’t imagine Cano doesn’t get the first shot though he has blown a bunch of saves.  I might favor riding Webb while he is hot.

No, but they appear to be correct

What if ABTII is Kosta’s source?

Is this a serious post?

I guess I should have posted /s

Maybe ABTII is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde alter ego for Andy Kostka...

Also good for extras, when giving up a walk sets up DP and Ks are especially needed!

Hall is the 4th youngest player on the O's 26 man roster.   Gunnar, GRod and Westburg  are younger.

I get what you're saying, but guys who pitch to contact as much as Cano are equally as dangerous. Fuji definitely doesn't have the nerves for the role, but I think Hall might. And maybe he'll be able to keep his walk rate down in shorter outings. I think we should at least see what we have with him because he's really the only unknown variable in this equation.

I could get used to that from DL Hall.

Well no easy reintroductions to MLB for Hall. Right into the tightest spot in the ballgame. Going to need him to keep stepping up

[Aristotelian]

Velo was there! Lost command with the CH on the last batter, otherwise looked good. See how he does as he gets challenged

Good to see DL with his velocity back. Still feel like he's potentially a huge part of this franchise as a starter.

Dare I say he flashes a bit of Erik Bedard.
