It’s one of those questions that will be asked next season if Marlins reliever Jose Urena shows some stability in the closer’s role with the organization.
Why didn’t the team consider this move prior to the beginning of the season or why hasn’t the front office considered moving a starter into the role to help with the overabundance of pitching the team has on the Major League and minor league levels.
Urena returned to the team Sept. 1 to a new role that suits his demeanor and his aggressiveness on the mound. It could prove that his herniated disc was the best thing to happen to him and the team as they moved him to the back end of the bullpen where he has a chance to shine.
