“Tomko is going to pitch in the closer role right now, and we’ll go from there," pitching coach Scott Aldred said. "We’ll see how it works. I think it will be fine. A lot of experience. Give him some intense work instead of being a long guy and pitching in some games that don’t mean much, I think we’ll get the best out of Brett Tomko by pitching him at the end of the game.” ...

“I’m confident with any of those four guys -- Jacks, Claggett, Melancon and Robertson -- they can finish games if they need to, and they will," Aldred said. "I’m confident in all four of them. I like our whole bullpen setup. Those guys will get the majority of the workload. Whether it be the sixth, seventh or seventh, eighth, whatever we decide to go with. They’ll get most of the innings down there and it should be a nice little foursome.”
