Who will close?

Folty has been working on a third pitch. I don't think he knows if he wants a curve/change or split though. His change and Curve killed him last year. If you look at his spray chart, those two pitches were hits over 60% of the time when put in play. His 2 seam fast ball is most effective.. but if he could pair that with a slider and still have his four seamer on the black, then he will be formidable. Next year should be about him learning to pitch off his fastballs and develop a slider. Heck his 2 fastballs are good enough, if well located, to get guys out.
 
Grilli will close to try to restore his trade value. If he struggles, we move on to Viz. if he doesn't, we trade him and then move on to Viz.
 
More importantly, Grilli isn't really talented and knowledgable enough for the current crop to learn much from him. We all know that Kimbrel took in everything he could from Wagner. It's just hard seeing Grilli as any kind of major influence on the development of Viz or Simmons.
