Reds Closer Job Still Open

Reds manager Jerry Narron reiterated that the closer spot is still open, but right now the default is a committee between Mike Stanton and David Weathers, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

The sad truth is that the Reds don't really have anyone in particular that they're grooming for the role that has the upside over Stanton and Weathers. "Unless somebody here - somebody like Todd Coffey or one of the younger guys - just has a great, great spring where they're just dominating everybody, it would be David Weathers or Mike Stanton, depending on whether the biggest outs are left-handed or right-handed hitters. I don't know if we have that kind of a big arm in camp that's going to change anything," he said.
