Craig Hansen signing

[GoPenny]

I see Craig Hansen signed today, anyone know if he will be a starter or closer? I am in a DEEP keeper league, and would like to ace some people if he will be closing. From everything I see, he should be closing next year but the Red Sox said they weren't sure where he will be used

Thanks

hopefully he'll do well in the minors and then the Sox will figure out what they want to do ... not sure if he'll get called-up this year, unless they get desperate and decide they want him for the playoff run (bullpen)

he is bullpen the whole way...he'll be closing for the Sox at some point, but it won't be while Foulke is under contract and healthy. Doubtful he gets called up this year to help (they'd probably call up one of Lester, Paplebon or Sanchez for pen help) but when Hansen comes up it will be for good. I think he'll be better than Street or Cordero. in 2 years. Snag him up if you can.
