The final two sports in the bullpen

The candidates: Brendon Little, Tommy Nance, Zach Pop and Ryan Burr

The first six spots in the 'pen seem to be locked in with Jeff Hoffman, Chad Green, Yimi Garcia, Erik Swanson, Nick Sandlin and Yariel Rodriguez, leaving two sports for the four players listed above.

All four saw action at the big-league level last year, with Little having the most success (3.74 ERA in 49 games). He likely has the inside track to a spot since he'd be the only left-hander in the 'pen.

That said, the bullpen is always the most volatile part of any roster, so we'll likely end up seeing all four in Toronto at some point this year.
