Dan Wheeler is a capable closer, but the 'pen features an array ofreally good arms that cause problems.

Aside from a late hiccup in Game 4 of the ALDS, the bullpen has beenas good as expected with Jonathan Papelbon striking out seven hittersin five innings pitched. Justin Masterson and Hideki Okajima are morethan capable in late and close game situations.: M6 r3 q/ t, v+ P- r! x' k( Y: e
