They want Louis Varland to get that ninth-inning role. That hasn't happened yet, though, and it very well may not happen at all. The reason?
It has to do with the closer role, and how the rest of the bullpen operates. Why is Jeff Hoffman still the Blue Jays' closer, not Louis Varland? Hoffman has his defined role.
He almost always will come into an empty ninth inning to start the frame. Varland, on the other hand, puts out the fires. He can come in at any time.
