ESPN on contender bullpens

From ESPN:

"Two awesome bullpens if you only need two guys

2. Boston. Daniel Bard’s raw numbers are great (well, except that 0-3 record, not exactly a non-important notation). Jonathan Papelbon is back with an 18/2 strikeout/walk ratio. But new acquisitions Bobby Jenks and Dan Wheeler have been disastrous, leaving a gaping hole after the top two."

I'm not worried. I think Jenks will turn it around then we just need one more person to step forward. Bullpen roles usually take a month or two to solidify. The sleeper: Aceves. Full stats on the Sox' pen here.
