Question For An Atlanta Braves Fan or MLB Expert

[bigcheez99]

Is there a clear cut closer in Atlanta? Mike Gonzalez? Soriano? Or is it a shared job for now? Is one guy ahead of the other at all?

"Soriano got the nod over Gonzalez when the Braves wanted to bring a left-handed pitcher in to face left-handed Adam Dunn in the eighth inning. This could be a sign the closer role may be split between the two players, and Soriano may have more upside if both are healthy since Gonzalez may be used earlier in games against left-handed batters." from ESPN fantasy league....

I think Gonzalez is the closer but, like ESPN said kinda depends on the matchup.

[Chevy Man 22]

Yeah Gonzalez is the official closer but he's stunk it up this year and Soriano hasn't done to badly so Bobby Cox is going to go with whoever is hot. But the closer situation in Atlanta is always dicey because either of those guys could end up on the DL at a moments notice.

Last year when Gonzalez went down Soriano stepped in but ended up on the DL soon after and at that point it was closer by committee.

Soriano will be the closer from here on out.
