What else could explain Maddon's desire to have Walker as the full-time closer? Per rotoworld:
Manager Joe Maddon said it is time the Devil Rays had a true closer, and he will give Tyler Walker every chance to win the job.
The Rays have had a closer-by-committee program with Dan Miceli, Chad Orvella and Shawn Camp filling the role, but Maddon said "I would much prefer giving the game to one guy."
