Bust: Joe Nathan Twins even though he is coming off tommy john surgery and still considered highly ranked as a closer. He will probably hit some rough patches coming back from the injury which may cause his stats to inflate somewhat higher than they normally have been in the past.

Sleeper: Daniel Bard/ Bobby Jenks Red Sox if Papelbon falters or struggles again the Red Sox have two legitimate replacements who can come in and get the job done effectively as well as strike people out on many occasions. Even if they aren't closing they are viable options if you want to lower your era or gain strikeouts during a given week as well.
