Apparently the Marlins wanted to have a closer by committee much like their brethren across the state.  However, unlike the Rays, this situation is clouded in injuries and not a manger’s whim.  It was announce today that Matt Lindstrom will miss 4-6 weeks with an elbow issue.  According to most news sites, Leo Nunez should be next in line.  But there is one problem… he is also on the DL with an ankle injury.  If you have been following my Bottom of the 9th section, you would know that I have been calling for Kiko Calero to close for the Marlins.  Once again, there is a problem… he is also on the DL.

So where does that leave those owners chasing saves?

That leaves Renyel Pinto or Dan Meyer as the best saves option for the next few days.  Personally, I am putting my money on Meyer.  Both are left-handed relievers that have posted solid numbers, but Pinto walks too many batters.  I would rather have the pitcher with the better K/BB ratio when chasing saves.  Even if they do not get saves, at least they should not hurt your team while you are guessing.

My pick for the long haul is still Calero, but since Nunez will be back first (possibly tonight or later this week), go after him and stash him.

****NOTE**** Leo Nunez has been activated tonight.
