Chicago Cubs have gotten elite performances in bullpen turnaround

The first week of the regular season was like a daily doomsday for members of the Chicago Cubs bullpen.

The relief corps was all over the place, and despite the Cubs scoring plenty of runs, no lead was safe as almost no reliever could be trusted to shut things down in the late innings.

Sweeping changes appeared necessary, and after a week of play, Carl Edwards Jr. was sent to Triple-A Iowa and Mike Montgomery was put on the injured list. Kyle Ryan and Allen Webster were called up to fill the roster spots.
