Houston (CBS HOUSTON) – The Houston Astros are just ten days away from starting their highly anticipated 2016 season. A season that has had them dubbed as a favorite to win the World Series. But even a team that has high expectations will still have questions. One of those questions comes at the end of the bullpen for Astros Manager AJ Hinch. Hinch talked to Nick Wright and John Lopez on In The Loop on SportsRadio 610 on Friday and didn’t really clarify who would be the locked down 9th inning for the Astros.

“I think we’re going to have a couple of different guys close games,” Hinch said. “I’ve very comfortable with both (Luke Gregerson and Ken Giles). I’d like to see Gregerson in a game this spring to make sure he’s clearly healthy for the start of the season. Ken Giles really came on strong in his last outing, he’s an option. (Pat) Neshek’s done well, (Tony) Sipp’s done well.”

Last season Gregerson had 31 saves in the closer’s role for the Astros and had a 3.10 ERA as the Astros made the playoffs in the second wild card spot. Hinch doesn’t want to lock into anyone right now, however, because he isn’t a big fan of the definition of a closer.

“Everyone is so consumed with the word closer. Everyone but me,” Hinch told In The Loop. “I don’t really care. I care about having the lead, and having a good bullpen. If we have one dominant closer I guess we’ll find out over the next couple of weeks. If we have a revolving door, I guess that can happen to.

“I really look at it as a strong bullpen that can get the last nine outs consistently. The last three outs are a lot more important to people outside of our clubhouse than to me.”

The Astros traded for Giles this offseason from the Philadelphia Phillies. Giles saved 15 games for the Phillies last year, striking out 87 in 70 innings pitched. He finished with 1.80 ERA in his 69 appearances.
