- Rafael Betancourt - Indians' best relief pitcher. Has been saved for high leverage outs as a primo set-up guy. Closing experience earlier in his career not memorable.
- Jorge Julio - former major league closer. Has a history of throwing gas, but not knowing exactly where it's going.
- Masa Kobayashi - Japanese league career saves leader. Major league work so far not particularly distinguished, but it's early yet to make a call on him
- Nasty Mastny - Has closing experience, but the fact that he didn't even make this year's club out of spring training certainly weighs against him.
- Rafael Perez - Has the stuff. Lefty. Has been somewhat erratic so far this season.
It's anyone's guess right now. I'm betting that it will be Betancourt, with Julio as an outside shot.
