Despite the signing of Brian Wilson, a former All-Star closer who saved 48 games in 2010, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly does not think Kenley Jansen's job is in trouble. Mattingly told MLB.com he expects Wilson to pitch in a set up role, with Jansen remaining the closer.
"[Wilson's] going to earn whatever he gets," Mattingly said. "We want to put him in a position to have success. Kenley is going to get the ball in the ninth and everyone else is going to get the ball to him."
Jansen has 14 saves and a 2.15 ERA on the season, with 74 strikeouts in 54 1/3 innings.
