Who will be Sox Closer?

My guess is that they look most closely at Hansen and Pineiro in Spring and Hansen wins out with Pineiro becoming long Middle Relief.

I think the Sox will make a trade for a closer before the season starts.

closer by committee for the first month then lester comes back into the rotation - pap back to closer as it should be.

I understand the appeal of wanting to be a starter but the kid could be the BEST closer in history.

Maybe in Red Sox history not Baseball history. We all know that belongs to MO!

Papelbon won't be closing. it would be great if he could but docs won't give him clearance. Besides, he'd get more innings as a starter and still get four days rest. I'm picturing, dare I say it, Clemens in '86.

Either someone will step up and take the closer role or Theo's gonna pull the trigger on a trade.

I think you wil see Pineiro step in and give it a shot. When he blows a couple saves Theo will make a deal.

For those saying trade: any guesses as to who? I can't think of anyone I'd give up much for or that are on the block yet.
