who do you think is going to be the closer now since Sherill is on the DL? I'm thinking maybe Johnson???

Johnson would be the logical choice, but he has struggled lately.

Trembley likes veterans in that role (he said earlier in this season that his "back-up" closer was actually Bradford, not Johnson - pre-trade obviously), so it would not shock me if Walker actually got first crack at it. Although he's been pretty rough since coming off the DL himself.

If the starting pitching doesn't find some level of consistency, they won't have to worry about a closer. Can't keep banking on the offense scoring 7-10 runs to stay in the game.

Yeah really! Outside of Guthrie the other starters have been getting hit pretty hard lately.
