In our last installment, we analyzed a starting pitching staff that despite a lack of depth was one of the best in all of baseball. While their accomplishments were impressive, what may be even better was a bullpen that finished eighth in overall ERA at 3.38 with 20 pitchers and two position players making at least one appearance. Let’s take a look back at the Cubs patchwork bullpen.
Much like last year, the bullpen was again headlined by three pitchers, Hector Rondon, Pedro Strop and Justin Grimm who are expected to do the same next year.
