The Reds have decided that Sean Marshall will be the closer for now.
"Marshall is our closer for right now," Dusty Baker said. "He's closed a few games but not a lot. He can throw that breaking ball for strikes anytime he's ready. Things don't faze him. He's been around awhile."
Marshall signed with Cincinnati and signed an extension early in camp. He expressed an interest in closing then.
"It is the premiere job in the bullpen. I am confident that I can get people out if I'm given the ball in the ninth or 10th inning."
