Another closer goes on the DL! This has not been the year to have an early draft.
Fernando Rodney should get some save opportunities. I also would not be surprised to see Joel Zumaya get a chance or two. This would be a harbinger of his near-future role only an opportunity to pitch in pressure - something I do not think Jim Leyland is afraid to do.
Also keep in mind, Leyland used closing comittees in 9 of his 14 previous major league jobs. Even if Jones returns soon, I can see him getting only 50% of the opportunities.
