Jansen hasn’t been given the Closer role: “He’s willing to pitch in any spot,” Scott Harris said. “He just wants to be in a winning environment. And he was really attracted to Detroit as a destination.”

Any combo of Finnegan, Vest, Jansen is fine, tho I would like 500 for the dude
He will get the 500th save in a Tiger uniform.
I imagine (if things go well) all of vest, Jansen and Finn will share that role. Ride the hot hand
I’m sure AJ will ensure he gets his 500 this season and continue to use Vest, Jensen, and Finn in high-leverage situations. It’s a luxury to have these three in the bullpen.
Was he attracted to Detroit because he saw how terrible his team was when they played us lol?
He needs to be the closer. His numbers in non-save situations last year were horrible.
500 should be doable within two seasons for him at least. If he doesn’t get there this year, he’ll be awfully close. I like the idea of using Will Vest in a few ways, but he could be an excellent stopper for us if, say, there’s trouble in the 7th. He puts out that fire and Finnegan can come in for a clean 8th while Jansen can get a clean 9th.
