I dont think this is Franconas fault, hes turning to guys to hold the game, or hold a lead....and they just arent able to, which further puts the bullpen in the spotlight.
Francona can be blamed for putting certain guys in to a game, but he really doesnt have many options, especially if Delcarmen cannot be counted on to give them solid innings as a setup guy....theres only so many times you can turn to OKI and Paps. Someone has to step up in that pen.......hopefully Hansen can answer that bell if DelCarmen doesnt want to step up.
Ive been a Hansen hater since day 1, only out of disappointment, hopefully he proves me wrong aand stabilizes that pen.
