Who should be in the Cubs’ Opening Day bullpen?

The following relief pitchers are still in Cubs camp. (Note: For purposes of this discussion, I am going to assume that Hayden Wesneski will be named to join the rotation, and other pitchers such as Adrian Sampson and Javier Assad will be among the relief choices.)

On the 40-man roster

Adbert Alzolay, Javier Assad, Brad Boxberger, Michael Fulmer, Brandon Hughes, Julian Merryweather, Michael Rucker, Adrian Sampson, Keegan Thompson, Rowan Wick

Non-roster invitees

Ryan Borucki, Nick Burdi, Tyler Duffey, Roenis Elias, Anthony Kay, Mark Leiter Jr., Brendon Little, Vinny Nittoli, Manuel Rodriguez, Cam Sanders

That’s a total of 20 pitchers.
