As for Joba and Hughes, I think ideally Joba should go to the pen and Hughes should be starting, whether he start the season in Scranton or in New York, I think he should go into the season as a starter. I also wouldn't be opposed to both of them starting, as long as there are no restrictions on Joba. But if they do that who would you guys propose they go out and get to set up for Mo? I don't think you can rely 100% on Coke and Robertson and would definitely need some sort of insurance down there.

Well, yeah, the bullpen is an issue. For arguments sake, lets say Joba and Hughes are both starters next year. That leaves them with...
Rivera RHP
Robertson RHP
Marte RHP
Coke RHP
Aceves RHP
Overall, that's pretty good, but one solid setup man would really make it an enormous strength, like it was towards the end of last year.
I would love to get Fernando Rodney, but he might want to close. Same with Rafael Soriano. In my opinion, those are the two best relievers on the market. They could consider going after Rafael Betancourt, but he might not be good enough to sacrifice the required draft picks. All three of those guys are type A free agents.
