I really liked the way the Royals' bullpen worked this season. If their starters got through five or six innings, they normally won the game, because of their lockdown bullpen. Do you think the Rays can get that out of their bullpen next year?

Rays closer Brad Boxberger had one save more than Huston Street of the Angels to claim the American League saves crown (with 41 saves) in an All-Star season that saw him go 4-10 with a 3.71 ERA in 69 appearances. Making the right-hander's accomplishments more impressive was the fact that the Rays did not designate him to be their closer.
