"With four relief candidates who have closed games in Blue Jay uniforms this spring, it could present an opportunity for the ultimate bullpen by committee.

Manager John Farrell doesn't think so.

"We'll use spring training to come out of camp and head north with an identified closer," he said Tuesday. "It not only serves that individual but it serves the rest of the bullpen well that they know what their role is once the season starts."

Jon Rauch, Frank Francisco, Octavio Dotel and Jason Frasor have all been closers at various times in their careers. Between them, they have accumulated 220 career saves, led by Dotel's 105. One of them will serve in that role this year in the Toronto pen."
