Let's talk bullpen

Neil Ramirez is a stud and should be the centerpiece building block of that unit.

I'm not totally sold on rondon and strop having huge roles.

Now, two guys we acquired during the season, Felix dubront and Dan Strailey, seem like they could be bullpen candidates to me. Strailey was a K King in the MiLB (though it didn't translate to the MLB), and Dubront has proven at times to be dominant and at other times erratic. I don't know if we hold on to bosio, but I wonder what he can do with these two, whether it be as starters or relievers?

Vizcaino was bad in his short stint, but he should be fine. Riveiro didn't make it up but we can expect him there in 2015. I wonder if Fujikawa could play a role?

Just watching a team like the Royals and their bullpen makes you realize how important a pen is. Maddon always had pretty decent pens in TB with some reclamation projects. I'm sure he will fool around with some things
