St. Louis Cardinals: Closer
Tony La Russa doesn't feel any need to anoint a closer in the winter, especially because one of the candidates is Chris Perez, who has a total of 41 innings pitched and seven saves in his big-league career. But going forward, it's unclear whether the Cardinals might introduce Chris Carpenter into the competition for closer, as he recovers from arm trouble. Ryan Franklin struggled in the closer's role at the end of last season, but had 17 saves. Kyle McClellan probably has the stuff to do the job, if asked.
