Kansas City Star 05/18/2006 Dessens steps in as closer
He was named the KC closer with Mike Wood inheriting the 8th inning role.
I wonder what would have happened if the Royals had a save opportunity last night with Dessens unavailable and Wood successfully closing out the game?
Would that one shot for Wood/missed shot for Dessens mean Wood would close the next time?
I do think the closer's role is open to that type of random assignment when no pitcher clearly differentiates himself from his competition.
