It appears as though the Miami Marlins will go with Brad Ziegler as the new closer in place of the traded A.J. Ramos beginning Saturday when he is activated from the disabled list according to the Miami President of Operations. Despite a sky-high 6.52 ERA and 1.82 WHIP, Ziegler's experience edge as a successful closer (2016) gives him the nod over Junichi Tazawa and Dustin McGowan. When it comes to Ziegler, he obviously can't be any worse then he was before he got hurt and so trying him out for a short-run to see if the stint on the DL straightened him out is worth a try.
