"It’s going to be a much different look," said Rosenthal. "Fortunately, we do have Broxton back, a guy with a ton of experience. It’s going to be fun to learn from a guy like Oh _ the experience that he has and also the different culture. It’s going to be a lot of fun having him out there.

"The most important thing is we’re going to have to have guys step up. I’m going to have to step up. A lot of guys are going to have to fill those leadership roles. The core group that we’ve had, (Kevin) Siegrist, (Seth) Maness, myself. . . guys that have been there the last few years and been on these (playoff) runs. . . we’re going to have to step up and take responsibility for what we want this bullpen to look like, how we want to work throughout the season."

Rosenthal had made no secret that he wanted to start in the majors but, asked if he considered himself a "career closer" now, he responded, "It's definitely something that would be hard to dispute. I’m just going to continue to do that and show up every day and work hard. If they keep letting me put on a uniform I’ll be happy and if they decide to give me a crack at the starting rotation, that would be great too. "
