He at least deserves a chance at the spot. AG is the better pitcher by far but I'd prefer him in more of that shut down at any point role.
I really don't think he has the make up of a closer. I don't think he handles stress well. I'd be thrilled if he can contribute decently as a set up guy

He's certainly getting higher leverage opportunities now. Bell seems to be using him as the 4th guy in late inning close games. I like him. He's a keeper. Pencil him into the 2020 pen. But let's get a better 4th guy or 3rd guy for next year and make him our 5th or 6th best.
