Cody Allen: Could Close for Tribe in 2014Cody Allen: Allen may be the leading in-house candidate to close out games following the release of Chris Perez, MLB.com reports. "I'm confident in the guys we have internally," general manager Chris Antonetti said. "Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw are two guys, specifically, who have demonstrated the attributes you're looking for in a closer. They've got a good combination of stuff and performance, and they've both pitched in high-leverage roles this past season and got very meaningful outs for us on a very competitive team. So I'm confident that one of those two guys could potentially do that role, if we get to Spring Training and we feel that's the best alignment. At the same time, we're not going to limit ourselves as we go into the offseason. We will search for opportunities to improve the 'pen."
