Marmol should be the closer

Dempster should be long relief, if can't be traded to another team.

Howry, the most experienced is the boring choice.

Marmol should be the closer, he was our best reliever last year and has a little bit of excitement and marketability that Howry doesn't.

Wood, a fan favorite would be a fun closer, but we don't know if he'll be able to do it the whole season without being injured.

Re: Marmol

Marmol's the best of the four, but I hate taking him out of the 7th-8th inning role, where he will sometimes pitch two innings.
