Leyland said Rodney would be closer for the FIRST game. There was no guarantee or commitment after that.

I would go with ROdney right now but look to pick up Lyon who may get the most opportunities this year and Zumaya is a distant third.

please help

Rodney has the first game, but gut feeling is that Lyon will win the role permanently fairly soon.

Lyon will still be a rollercoaster ride though.

Rodney or Lyon, pick your poison. My money is on Lyon getting more saves.
Here's the pitch on the way, a swing and a belt! Left field! Way back! BLUE JAYS WIN!

Rodney is the closer for now. Next in line is Lyon, because they didn't pay him a lot to not close eventually, with Zumaya a distant third.
