Closer's just have to get the outs to finish out the game. Doesn't matter how they do it. Sure you like a guy who comes in and blows every one away ideally which is what Ryan was before the surgery. But if he can still throw strikes that aren't great pitches to hit and keep hitters off balance combined with a closer mentality than I think he'll be fine. Not every save is going to be easy, and I think Ryan still has like 20 strikeouts in 17 innings which equates to a good strikeout per 9 inning number.
