Well, Crow then

Holland and Herrera threw an awful lot of pitches last night. If they aren't available, then your options are Hoch, Crow, Gutierrez, Chen, or Collins. I think we can drop Gutierrez and Collins right off the bat, so its Hoch, Crow, or Chen. Chen is probably out as lefty+long-relief.

Hoch should be out, but only because we here hate him, thinking he's a mental midget who becomes a mess with a close lead or runners on base, but without that added information/baggage/bias, people might be entranced by his sub-1 ERA, 12 K's, and 3 BB's.

edit: also, if you were, hypothetically speaking, sick of Holland and seriously considering Hoch for closer, you'd have to do the first audition on the road where he can't get boo'd.
