Baseball Media Day: Mike Fox Q&A

Posted Feb 14, 2009
"Your bullpen is always extremely important. Those last two or three innings are when a lot of games are won or lost. Replacing Rob [Wooten] is going to be hard.

Colin Bates is going to close for us the first weekend. I think he’ll be the typical closer." (Inside Carolina)
