Manager Fredi Gonzalez suggested Tuesday that he could use Vizcaino in a combination of closers with Jason Grilli (Achilles) and Jim Johnson, at least initially, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "It will be probably the same situation (as last year)," Gonzalez said. "I can use all three. Mix-and-match. Absolutely."
Grilli is still a question mark for Opening Day. If Grilli's unavailable to start the year, Vizcaino and Johnson will likely split closer duties, and Gonzalez added that he could deploy some sort of committee once he has all three at his disposal. "I feel that way now," Gonzalez said, "that if the matchup comes up, say in the seventh inning there's two or three guys the scouting reports say can't hit high velocity, maybe we run Vizcaino against those guys. That might be the biggest inning."
