Clearly, one of BenCher's biggest challenges is re-building a bullpen without the Dropkick Murphy's favorite closer in it. According to a report on MLB.com, Boston has expressed interest in flame-thrower Joel Zumaya—who has not had an injury-free year since 2006. Nevertheless, if he's healthy, he is a 100+ mph threat that could allow for the other triple-digit pitcher on the staff (Daniel Bard) to move into the rotation. Of course, this assumes we get off our collective duff and get a closer before they're all spoken for.
