Varland has yet to give up an earned run, I have full confidence he will strike out at least one batter he faces per inning, handles pressure situations and is consistent.
Hoffman gets up in the bullpen and I have 4 inches of couch fabric clenched up my ass.
Give Varland a chance at closing. If it works it solves a major weakness without having to make any sort of transaction and he’s under team control for a good while.
really see no downside.
