08:15 AM ET 07.11 | Coming out of the weekend, Ozzie Guillen said he'd weigh his options at closer after the All-Star Break. Apparently, the manager has reached a decision. The Marlins appear headed for a closer by committee situation. On his weekly radio segment on "The Dan LeBatard Show" on 790 The Ticket, Guillen said he plans to talk with Heath Bell in the next few days, and that the team will start off closing by committee. The news isn't unexpected, because Guillen hinted he on Sunday that he would make a drastic move, if necessary. In the series finale with the Cardinals, Bell allowed three runs in the ninth inning, and St. Louis rallied to a 5-4 win. ... Bell is 2-5 with a 6.75 ERA in 40 appearances. He's converted 19 of 25 save opportunities.
