4 years agoKansas City Royals pitcher Greg Holland doesn't have a clear path to saves in 2021 but he's among a group of four arms that are the favorites for high-leverage innings to begin the season. Other names in the closer conversation include Scott Barlow, Jesse Hahn, and Josh Staumont. Manager Mike Matheny advised there would be no set closer early in the season but the fluid bullpen roles could evolve into more traditional jobs as the year wears on. The 35-year-old Holland had a solid spring performance with a K-BB of 9-2 and three runs allowed over 7.1 innings (3.68 ERA). Last season, he racked up six saves and two holds. He struck out 31 batters with a 1.91 ERA in 28.1 innings of work.--Marc Hulet - RotoBaller
