Who is the closer for '14?

Doub, no offense, but I hate your sig gif. Just had to get that off my chest.

As for the closer situation, whoever gets it will have really bad hair based on recent trends with Sox closers.

Closer has become an important role. It is very demoralizing to lose leads in the ninth inning. I wouldn't mind signing another guy to compete in the bullpen. We have the money especially with Dunn coming off the books next year.

It's important.
But it's a lot easier to get 3 outs in the 9th with no one on, than to get 3 (or 2) outs in the seventh or eighth with 2 men on.

Yes, I will still be saying that. You seem not to get our point, though we understand yours quite well ("We need a closer!!!").

Matt Thornton disagrees with that statement wholeheartedly.

9th is lefty heavy give it to Downs.

Other wise, Nate Jones
Big K rate, keeps the ball in the park, just needs to now think and just throw
