Francisco was signed for the sole purpose of closing. He is a thousand percent their pre-season closer; safer than Bailey and Aardsma. To a lesser extent Farnsworth was brought in for that exact reason. Both should be entries. There is no TBD in Toronto, and Farnsworth is the same status if things remain as-is.

farnsworth is there until McGee is ready, farnsworth hasnt been a reliable closer in years. though a good reliever at times when he wasnt fighting injuries. If TB is out of it early and Mcgee is ready hes in
