Borowski: Role as Indians closer secure

Indians closer Joe Borowski was inserted into his first ninth-inning save situation of the spring Monday, allowing a leadoff single before recording two strikeouts to finish off the Devil Rays. Borowski is anything but the typical closer who intimidates with high-90s heat, but he’ll be the one anchoring the Cleveland bullpen when the regular season kicks off. Furthermore, with the ancient Roberto Hernandez and the erratic Rafael Betancourt serving as the primary setup options, Borowski’s job may be safer than many think...for the time being, anyway. If you’re looking for cheap saves in mixed formats, then Borowski certainly has to be considered.
