The Indians did not make any substantial changes to what was a successful 2011 bullpen group. Heading into spring training, the main cogs of that pen; Chris Perez, Vinnie Pestano, Tony Sipp, Rafael Perez and Joe Smith, seem set to re-occupy their spots. That leaves two openings (spots that were filled primarily with Chad Durbin and Frank Herrmann) heading into spring training. Who would you like to see win those spots? This poll will be divided into two parts, the first asking who you would like in the 6th bullpen spot, the second asking who you would like to fill the final spot. Keep in mind, the Indians 40-man roster is currently full, and each NRI that makes the squad will need a roster spot. The Indians have one spot to play with once Carrasco goes on the 60-day DL, but any other spots would require moving someone off the roster.
