Marlins bolster bullpen with Benitez?

Kevin Gregg has pitched effectively for the Marlins, converting 6-of-6 save opportunities.
So, it only makes sense that the team that traded for Jorge Julio would trade for another closer with a shaky past.
Armando Benitez reportedly has been traded to the Marlins.
The thinking is Benitez, pitching in a no-pressure environment like Miami, would revert back to his glory days with the Marlins when he had 47 saves in 2004.
Brad Hennessey likely would be the closer for the Giants, depending on the player San Francisco gets in return for Benitez.
Gregg? Well, he was good for a while.
It seems the Marlins haven't learned their lesson.
