The White Sox are talking more about Colome as their closer than Kelvin Herrera, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The White Sox acquired Colome and Herrera during the offseason and fueled speculation about Chicago's closer role. Both hurlers have end-game experience, so we expect a competition to play itself out in spring training, but Colome cost them a good-hitting catcher in Omar Narvaez. The price to acquire him, plus Herrera getting over surgery to repair a Lisfranc ligament injury, gives Colome a slight edge. Whether it's Colome or Herrera as the closer, the White Sox feel they've locked down the eighth and ninth innings.
