Overall the bullpen has been pretty average which is what I expected. I don't think any of us were excited about three 20 saves guys. We knew there would be issues. The starters have been good as expected. Just not the starters we expected to be good. 

The problem has been the position players with a few exceptions. These guys have been worse at hitting, fielding and base running than they were the last two years. There's plenty of blame to go around for the entire organization. 

The players were challenged at the end of last season to find ways to improve and many of them are much worse. I expected much more from the position players. The bullpen is not really surprising to me.

Our bullpen has blown more games than any team in MLB. Just save half of the games they blew and we would be a playoff team. And we are about 9th in the AL in runs scored. Yeah, if we scored 10 runs a game, sure, we would be better. But it's the bullpen...

If the offense scores one or two runs and the bullpen "blows" the save, plenty of blame can go to the offense. If the defense fails to catch a ball and the reliever has to throw ten more pitches, plenty of blame can go to the defense.

Gosh it's nice to have good defensive CFer again.....

Outman doesn't have great stats, but he always seems to be involved in everything.  Too bad they didn't have him in May.
