Zumaya disagrees with anyone who thinks he should be the closer:
"The Tigers were rained out Thursday night, but for Joel Zumaya, there'd been a previous damper.
Specifically, he came face-to-face with being too full of himself -- and with the reality of not being ready for what over-eager fans want his role to be.
"I can tell you I'm not ready to be the closer," he said. "I have a lot to learn. When it comes, it comes, but I'm not in any hurry because I'm not ready yet."
