This might be jumping the gun a bit but do you think they might be grooming Joba to become the heir apparent to Rivera. IIRC Rivera's contract ends this year but has a one year team option.

They've said a few times that Joba will be starting next year. Of course that could change, but at this point there's no plan for him to stay in the bullpen.
The club option for Rivera was this year. He's a free agent at the end of the season. But I would be shocked if he wasn't back next year.
