Phillies' Jeanmar Gomez: Will compete for closing role this spring

Gomez is one of three or four pitchers that will enter spring training in a competition to become the Phillies' closer, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

Analysis:

Gomez will be competing with Joaquin Benoit, Hector Neris and possibly Edubray Ramos for the closing gig. Neris is likely the favorite for the job, but Gomez did save 37 games last season before struggling down the stretch and losing the job.
