Joaquin Benoit to provide bullpen sanity

The Final Jeopardy answer is: Colton Murray, Frank Herrmann and Patrick Schuster.

Good ahead, Cliff Claven. Take a stab with, “Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?”

But in some kind of warped, please-don’t-say-it-was-true reality, those are three pitchers who threw in at least five September games for the Phillies in 2016. Two of them had ERAs over 11 (Herrmann clicked in at 5.63) for the month. None of them will be back with the Phillies, or likely any major league team, to start 2017. But the Phillies amazingly found roster room for them to pitch in what turned into one of the worst bullpens in baseball.
