The Bullpen

One of the biggest improvements made over the off season was the bolstering of the bullpen. The stockpiling started when the Sox traded Coco Crisp to the royals for Ramon Ramirez. Ramirez will fit in perfectly with Manny Delcarmen in the middle relief. The Sox also took another gamble by signing Takashi Saito, the former Dodgers closer, who will help bridge the gap to Jonathan Papelbon. All and all, it looks like the Sox will have one of the most impressive bullpen in the game.
