Pittsburgh Pirates — Clint Hurdle has finally made the long-expected move, demoting Tony Watson from the closer role in favor of a combination of Felipe Rivero and Juan Nicasio. Rivero has (slightly) better numbers, but if Hurdle decides that he’s more comfortable leaving Rivero in his eighth-inning role, Nicasio may get a chance to run away with the job.
Updated hierarchy : *Nicasio | Rivero | Hudson.
* = closer-by-committee
