Closer Role Not in the Cards for Pena for 2009

Manager Bob Melvin said Thursday that he expects Chad Qualls to close for the Diamondbacks next season. “I don’t see why (he) shouldn’t,” Melvin said. “We have some quality arms and we feel like any of these guys could close and we’ve had to rotate it around this year. But based on what he’s accomplished, especially here as of late, I don’t see why he wouldn’t be considered the favorite going into spring training next year.” Qualls is 4-for-4 in save opportunities and hasn’t allowed an earned run since he stole the job from Brandon Lyon.
