While it’s been a trying season for the San Francisco Giants, the bullpen has been a consistent strength since Opening Day.
The relief corps currently ranks fifth in the majors with a 3.77 ERA, and while save opportunities have been few and far between, they’ve nailed down an MLB-best 84.6 percent of them.
With Will Smith, Sam Dyson, Tony Watson, Mark Melancon, Reyes Moronta and Trevor Gott all performing well and doing a good job staying healthy, and ousted starters Derek Holland and Dereck Rodriguez filling mop-up roles, the opportunities to assess some of the team’s other in-house bullpen options have been few and far between.
