The early results to our latest FenwayNation Poll show that a majority of readers think the 2012 Red Sox closer will come from a yet-to-be consummated trade or free agency acquisition. A total of 55.2% take this view, while just 17.2% think newcomer Mark Melancon will be the ninth-inning guy. Daniel Bard is named as the likely closer by 13.8%—exactly the same amount (13.8%) that say Bobby Jenks will close for the Carmine Hose in 2012. You can still vote in the Poll
