Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila did an excellent job reshaping the team’s bullpen in his first year in charge of the club. The additions of Francisco Rodriguez and Justin Wilson helped bring stability to a group that had previously lacked it.
However, Detroit’s bullpen is by no means perfect.
Wilson, Shane Greene and Mark Lowe all suffered through bouts of inconsistency, while Alex Wilson, Bruce Rondon and Kyle Ryan didn’t flourish until later in the season.
In other words, more depth is needed.
