FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - George Sherrill was picked Tuesday to be the Baltimore Orioles' closer, an unlikely assignment for a one-time situational left-hander who spent the first four years of his professional career toiling in independent leagues.
''I think any short reliever wants to be the closer, wants to be that go-to guy,'' said Sherrill, one of four players acquired from Seattle for left-hander and Navan, Ont., native Erik Bedard on Feb. 8. ''I think we're going to have a really special bullpen. I think anybody in this bullpen is going to be good and any of them could close. To be named the one, it's pretty special.''
