The Red Sox sure spent a lot of money on a pitcher who seems to be turning into a full-time reliever already. After struggling in the rotation, Tazawa seemed to blossom somewhat when moved to the bullpen, and his fastball finally started showing some of the sizzle that was expected when he moved stateside from Japan. He'll be 24 when 2012 breaks, so this is about the time that the Red Sox will need to commit to a path for the onetime rock star: bullpen ace, or rotation enigma?
