Lots of possibilities but these were the first to come to mind. The list of Cubs relievers who are positively impacted is lengthy--I can see Dusty Baker running out 3-4 guys trying to find a real closer in Borowski's absence.

Another bullpen situation is interesting. In Arizona Greg Aquino--not exactly a rock-solid closer--is just now getting up to speed, Jose Valverde is ailing in multiple ways and they are now trying to figure out if Brandon Lyon or Brian Bruney gets more serious attention.

Thoughts? Additional options?

I am a Hog fan when we win, when we lose and when we don't play. I love hearing the UA band play the National Anthem on game day, but I sing along to the Alma Mater.
