The Angels will use a closer committee to open the season, likely consisting of Cam Bedrosian and Bailey, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given a mediocre spring season from Bailey and a fantastic 2016 (1.12 ERA, 1.09 WHIP) from Bedrosian, it was expected that Bedrosian would be the clear number one in the Angels bullpen with Huston Street injured to open 2017. Mike Scioscia is insisting he will use a committee approach to open the campaign, but considering how bad Bailey has been of late -- he has posted an ERA over 5.00 in three of the past four seasons -- chances are Bedrosian will assert himself in the closer's role at some point. That said, anybody who gets save chances is worthy of watching in fantasy, and Bailey just might have some coming his way this April given Scioscia's comments.
