Will anyone emerge as closer for the Brewers bullpen?
Chad Fox was supposed to close for the Brewers this year, but his sprained elbow is now expected to keep him out until mid-season.
Last years closer, Curtis Leskanic , is due back in May following his rehab from shoulder surgery.
Until then expect Mike DeJean and Jose Cabrera to get the Brewers’ saves.
If they (or DeJean alone) do a good job, Leskanic may well work as a setup man all year, continuing his rehab. If they struggle, Leskanic may be forced back into the thick of it sooner.
Fox has a now long history of arm troubles. He may be back at mid-season, but I wouldn’t count on it.
