Tough call on some... but here are my thoughts

Boston Red Sox - Unknown, but most likely Pineiro barring some sort of trade
Tampa Bay Devil Rays - McClung, no other real option but Orvella, who is pretty crappy
Detroit Tigers - IMHO it is Zumaya. He won't start as the closer, but he will end up as it
Cleveland Indians - Borowski
Texas Rangers - Gagne for about 1/2 a season til he's hurt
Atlanta Braves - Wickman, for Gonzalez needs to prove more before a shot given to him
Florida Marlins - Probably Tankersley, but watch ST... this is a very shaky one
Cincinnati Reds - Weathers, but also watch ST because this is just as shaky as FLA's situation
Milwaukee Brewers - Francisco Cordero, no doubt
Pittsburgh Pirates - Does it matter? But seriously it is 80% certain to be Torres
Chicago Cubs - Dempster, but watch for shaky performances, then Wood gets a nod due to fan popularity and hype.
San Francisco Giants - Armando 'Choke' Benitez
Arizona Diamondbacks - Valverde gets the nod over Julio. Neither is very good though
Los Angeles Dodgers - Saito, NO QUESTION

[General]

Wickman is closing, Gonzalez would step in if injury occurred. He'll be a good bet for holds anyway.

[Kingdom]

Jump all over LA's Saito and hope he doesn't realize he's pushing 40 soon.

Boston Red Sox - I'm going with Timlin, as Pineiro's spring hasn't been special, and the Sox always have a hard on for him.
Tampa Bay Devil Rays - Salas will have the job for the majority of the season, IMO, after McClung and Miceli falter again.
Detroit Tigers - Jones will stay healthy all year and hold the job.
Cleveland Indians - Betancourt. He should take over after a month of Borowski or so.
Texas Rangers - Gagne.
Atlanta Braves - Gonzalez needs to prove nothing(24 for 24 last year?), but Wickman will get the job, and Soriano will be the #2 option(not Gonzalez)
Florida Marlins - I'm going with Kevin Gregg, I don't know why, the Marlins always seem to **** with me, and I kept Tank in a keepers.
Cincinnati Reds - Weathers, for lack of a better choice.
Milwaukee Brewers - Coco. Period.
Pittsburgh Pirates - Torres, no doubt. I'd love to see Capps take over the role after we're out of it, though.
Chicago Cubs - I'm going to go with Wood, although Lou has a hardon for Dempster, but Wood should take over by mid-may if he can stay healthy(big if).
San Francisco Giants - Benitez(assuming the Boston rumors die out)
Arizona Diamondbacks - Valverde. Period.
Los Angeles Dodgers - Saito. Period

Florida Marlins - Tankersley is the front runner, but Matt Lindstrom could be someone to watch out for.

Per wikipedia:

Lindstrom's fastball often touches 100 mph and averages in the high 90's. Playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League this offseason, his fastball was clocked at 102 mph.

Then again, Travis Bowyer also seemed like a promising closer candidate last year.

[Kingdom]

I think Nolasco has been mentioned for the FLA job.

[realmofotalk]

With Josh Johnson's injury, don't you think that they would keep Nolasco in the rotation?

[Kingdom]

What I think is they should go with Robb Nen, or Trevor Hoffman.

[Witlon]

Lindstrom has been hitting 97-98 this spring, but only has 2 K's. That's not exactly endearing himself to many.

[DiamondDave]

You may be right on Timlin starting off with the closer job in BOS.... Pineiro has been looking bad... but I severely doubt Timlin performs... so something is going to have to happen there
