Dyson has stunk but JJ has given up runs in just about every inning he has pitched as a Ranger. Don't get me wrong Dyson needs to be removed from the closer role but Jeffress doesnt need to be the guy they go to. Bush hasn't been good either, the bullpen is a mess right now. Maybe they need to call Kela up and see if he has a fire lit under his ass!
I'd give him a shot. I would've made the switch after Dyson picked up his second loss. Jeffress couldn't do much worse than what we've been subjected to already and making Jeffress the closer would be easier because you could still keep Bush in the hardest role which is 8th inning / put out the fire in late innings. If you moved Bush to closer, who would take over Bush's current job? I honestly don't think Barnett has the kind of stuff you need to do Bush's role.
