I'm somewhat concerned about the first thing you mentioned (although Schilling and his 3.55ERA and 1.07WHIP since coming back from the DL is very encouraging), but the bullpen is fine. Timlin has been great since the ASB posting a 2.03ERA and 0.86WHIP, Delcarmen has been good all year averaging about a K per inning with a low ERA and WHIP, and Gagne has shown a tremendous improvement over his last 7 games (1.29ERA, 1.14WHIP). Plus, I assume that they'll use Buchholz out of the pen, and I don't think that Okajima can be completely written of just yet. The pen will be fine, Okajima or not.Were I a Sox fan, I wouldn't be anywhere near the Tobin like some are, but I'd be concerned about two things, who pitches after Beckett (who is a stud), and about who gets me to Papelbon come playoff time. Both teams have an equal shot should they both be in the playoffs.
