The Cincinnati Reds starting rotation has the makings of a strong force at the top with Sonny Gray, Luis Castillo, and Trevor Bauer. I touched on that a little bit this morning. Tonight I want to take a look at the other end of the pitching staff: The bullpen.
There’s a saying about bullpens being a bit of a crap shoot from year to year. There just aren’t very many relievers who are consistently good every season. The ones that are tend to be the closers and they cost a lot of money in free agency, or a lot in trade to acquire them via that route.
