Angels are staring down a terrifying void entering spring training

Legendary NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden once said, "If you've got two quarterbacks, you've got none." Apply that logic to the Los Angeles Angels closer situation, and you take that aphorism and supercharge it to the moon.

The Angels aren't short on options to close out games. However, the validity, and perhaps more importantly, the sustainability of the plethora of arms with the credentials to handle the job is questionable at best.

There are at least five top contenders: Robert Stephenson, Ben Joyce, Jordan Romano, Kirby Yates, and Drew Pomeranz. In each case, there is a shared question mark in addition to some other, more individualized concerns.
